Exodus 32:2-4

GOD’S WORD Translation

² Aaron said to them, “Have your wives, sons, and daughters take off the gold earrings they are wearing, and bring them to me.”

³ So all the people took off their gold earrings and handed them to Aaron. ⁴ After he had worked on the gold with a tool, he made it into a statue of a calf.

Then they said, “Israel, here are your gods who brought you out of Egypt.”
