¹⁹ It came about, as soon as^j Lit heMoses came near the camp, that he saw the calf and the dancing; and Moses’ anger burned, and he threw the tablets from his hands and shattered them^k Lit beneathat the foot of the mountain. ²⁰ He took the calf which they had made and burned it with fire, and ground it to powder, and scattered it over the surface of the water and made the sons of Israel drink it.	19 Exo 32:6 Deu 9:16 Deu 9:17 20 Deu 9:21
²¹ Then Moses said to Aaron, “What did this people do to you, that you have brought such great sin upon them?” ²² Aaron said, “Do not let the anger of my lord burn; you know the people yourself, that they are^l Lit in evilprone to evil. ²³ For they said to me, ‘Make^m Or godsa god for us who will go before us; for this Moses, the man who brought us up from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.’ ²⁴ I said to them, ‘Whoever has any gold, let them tear it off.’ So they gave it to me, and I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf.”	22 Deu 9:24 23 Exo 32:1-4 24 Exo 32:4
²⁵ Now when Moses saw that the people wereⁿ Lit let looseout of control—for Aaron had let them^o Lit go looseget out of control to be a derision among^p Lit those who rise against themtheir enemies— ²⁶ then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, “Whoever is for the LORD, come to me!” And all the sons of Levi gathered together to him. ²⁷ He said to them, “Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, ‘Every man of you put his sword upon his thigh, and go back and forth from gate to gate in the camp, and kill every man his brother, and every man his friend, and every man his^q Or kinneighbor.’” ²⁸ So the sons of Levi did^r Lit according to Moses’ wordas Moses instructed, and about three thousand men of the people fell that day. ²⁹ Then Moses said, “^s Lit Fill your handDedicate yourselves today to the LORD—for every man has been against his son and against his brother—in order that He may bestow a blessing upon you today.”	25 Ki1 12:28-30 Ki1 14:16 28 Num 25:7-13 Deu 33:9
³⁰ On the next day Moses said to the people, “You yourselves have^t Lit sinnedcommitted a great sin; and now I am going up to the LORD, perhaps I can make atonement for your sin.” ³¹ Then Moses returned to the LORD, and said, “Alas, this people has^u Lit sinnedcommitted a great sin, and they have made^v Or godsa god of gold for themselves. ³² But now, if You will, forgive their sin—and if not, please blot me out from Your book which You have written!” ³³ The LORD said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My book. ³⁴ But go now, lead the people where I told you. Behold, My angel shall go before you; nevertheless in the day when I^w Lit visitpunish, I will^x Lit visit their sin upon thempunish them for their sin.” ³⁵ Then the LORD smote the people, because of what they did with the calf which Aaron had made.	30 Sa1 12:20 Sa1 12:23 Num 25:13 31 Exo 20:23 32 Psa 69:28 Isa 4:3 Dan 12:1 Mal 3:16 Mal 3:17 Php 4:3 Rev 3:5 Rev 21:27 33 Exo 17:14 Deu 29:20 Psa 9:5 Rev 3:5 34 Exo 3:17 Exo 23:20 Deu 32:35 Rom 2:5 Rom 2:6 Psa 99:8 35 Exo 32:28 Exo 32:4 Exo 32:24
