1. Text; Exodus 32; 1-6
1 When the people saw that Moses was so long
in coming down from the mountain, they
gathered around Aaron and said, “Come,
make us gods who will go before us. As for
this fellow Moses who brought us up out of
Egypt, we don’t know what has happened to
him.” 2 Aaron answered them, “Take off the
gold earrings that your wives, your sons and
your daughters are wearing, and bring them
to me.” 3 So all the people took off their
earrings and brought them to Aaron.

2. 4 He took what they handed him and made it
into an idol cast in the shape of a
calf, fashioning it with a tool. Then they said,
“These are your gods, Israel, who brought
you up out of Egypt.” 5 When Aaron saw
this, he built an altar in front of the calf and
announced, “Tomorrow there will be a
festival to the Lord.”6 So the next day the
people rose early and sacrificed burnt
offerings and presented fellowship
offerings. Afterward they sat down to eat
and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.
