4 He received what they handed him, and fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made it a molten calf; and they said, |These are your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.| 5 When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made a proclamation, and said, |Tomorrow shall be a feast to the LORD.| 6 They rose up early on the next day, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play. 7 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, |Go down at once, for your people whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt have corrupted themselves. 8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them. They have made themselves a molten calf, and have worshiped it, and have sacrificed to it, and said, 'These are your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.'| Exodus 32:4-8, New Heart English Bible.
