Exodus

Chapter 32

1 And when the people saw that Moses
delayed to come down out of the Mount,
the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron,
and said unto him, Up, make us 'elohiym/gods,
who shall go before us;
for as for this Moses,
the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt,
we know not what is become of him.

2 And Aaron said unto them,
Break off the golden earrings,
which are in the ears of your wives,
of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.

{Note: Aaron was a man of a weak character. He could not stand up to the people.}

3 And all the people brake off the golden earrings
which were in their ears,
and brought them unto Aaron.

4 And he received them at their hand,
and fashioned it with a graving tool,
after he had made it a molten calf:
and they said,
These be your 'elohiym/gods, O Israel,
who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.

5 And when Aaron saw it,
he built an altar before it;
and Aaron made proclamation,
and said, Tomorrow is a feast to Jehovah/God.

6 And they rose up early on the morrow,
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 Jehovah/God said unto Moses,
Go, get you down;
for your people,
who you brought 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 them a molten calf,
and have worshipped it,
and have sacrificed thereunto, and said,
These be your 'elohiym/gods, O Israel,
who have brought you up out of the land of Egypt.

9 And Jehovah/God said unto Moses,
I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiff-necked people.
    {idiom for negative volition to either God or the study of His Word
  or both}

10 Now therefore let Me alone,
that My wrath may grow/wax hot against them,
and that I may consume them.

And I will make of you a great nation.

{Note: God makes the offer to Moses to destroy this people who keep on giving him such a hard time and build up a new nation of people that would honor God, His Word, and His servant.}

11 And Moses besought Jehovah/God
his 'Elohiym/Godhead, and said,
"Jehovah/God, why does Your wrath grow/wax hot
against Your people,
whom You have brought forth out of the land of Egypt
with great power,
and with a mighty hand? 12

Why should the Egyptians speak, and say,
For mischief did He bring them out,
to slay them in the Mountains,
and to consume them from the face of the earth?

Turn from Your fierce wrath,
and repent of this 'divine discipline'/evil
against Your people. 13

Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Your servants,
to whom you swore by Your own self,
and said unto them,
I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven,
and all this land that I have spoken of will
I give unto your seed,
and they shall inherit it forever."

14 And Jehovah/God repented of the 'divine discipline'/evil
which He thought to do unto His people.

15 And Moses turned, and went down from the Mount,
and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand:
the tables were written on both their sides;
on the one side and on the other were they written.

16 And the tables were the work of 'Elohiym/Godhead,
and the writing was the writing of 'Elohiym/Godhead,
graven upon the tables.

17 And when Joshua heard
the noise of the people as they shouted,
he said unto Moses,
"There is a noise of war in the camp."

18 And he {Moses} said,
"It is not the voice of those who shout for mastery,
neither is it the voice of those who cry for being overcome
but the noise of those 'who are humiliating'
do I hear.

{Note: The Jews learned the false religions of the Egyptians while in captivity. They were worshiping a golden calf and having quite the party. Probably a drunken sexual orgy.}

19 And it came to pass,
as soon as he came nigh unto the camp,
that he saw the calf,
and the dancing:
and Moses' anger waxed hot,
and he cast the tables out of his hands,
and brake them beneath the Mount.

20 And he took the calf which they had made,
and burnt it in the fire,
and ground it to powder,
and spread it upon the water,
and made the children of Israel drink of it.

{Note: As much of a mouse that Aaron was, was the lion that Moses was. He ground up the gold into power and spread it in cups of water and made those who participated to consume what they were worshiping!}

21 And Moses said unto Aaron,
What did this people unto you,
that you have brought so great a sin upon them?

22 And Aaron said,
Let not the anger of my Jehovah/God grow/wax hot:
you know the people, that they are set on mischief/evil.

23 For they said unto me,
Make us 'elohiym/gods, who shall go before us:
for as for this Moses,
the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt,
we knew not what is become of him.

24 And I said unto them,
Whosoever has any gold, let them break it off.

So they gave it me:
then I cast it into the fire,
and there came out this calf.

25 And when Moses saw that the people were naked . . .

(for Aaron had made them naked
unto their shame among their enemies) 26

then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said,
Who is on Jehovah/God's side?

Let him come unto me.

And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him.

27 And he said unto them,
Thus said Jehovah/God 'Elohiym/Godhead of Israel,
Put every man his sword by his side,
and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp,
and slay every man his brother,
and every man his companion,
and every man his neighbor.

28 And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses:
and there fell of the people who day about three thousand men.

29 For Moses had said,
Consecrate yourselves today to Jehovah/God,
even every man upon his son, and upon his brother;
that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.

30 And it came to pass on the morrow,
that Moses said unto the people, you have sinned a great sin:
and now I will go up unto Jehovah/God;
perhaps I shall make an atonement for your sin.

31 And Moses returned unto Jehovah/God, and said,
Oh, this people have sinned a great sin,
and have made them 'elohiym/gods of gold. 32

Yet now, if You will forgive their sin . . .
and if not, blot me, I pray you,
out of your book which You have written.

33 And Jehovah/God said unto Moses,
Whosoever has sinned against Me,
him will I blot out of My book.

34 Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place
of which I have spoken unto you.

Behold, My Angel shall go before you.

Nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them.

35 And Jehovah/God plagued the people,
because they made the calf, which Aaron made.
