32:1 And when the people 5971 saw 7200 8799 that Moses 4872 delayed 954 8765 to come down 3381 8800 out of the mount 2022, the people 5971 gathered themselves together 6950 8735 unto Aaron 175, and said 559 8799 unto him, Up 6965 8798, make 6213 8798 us gods 430, which shall go 3212 8799 before 6440 us; for [as for] this Moses 4872, the man 376 that brought 5927 8689 us up out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714, we wot 3045 8804 not what is become of him.

32:2 And Aaron 175 said 559 8799 unto them, Break off 6561 8761 the golden 2091 earrings 5141, which [are] in the ears 241 of your wives 802, of your sons 1121, and of your daughters 1323, and bring 935 8685 [them] unto me.

32:3 And all the people 5971 brake off 6561 8691 the golden 2091 earrings 5141 which [were] in their ears 241, and brought 935 8686 [them] unto Aaron 175.

32:4 And he received 3947 8799 [them] at their hand 3027, and fashioned 6696 8799 it with a graving tool 2747, after he had made 6213 8799 it a molten 4541 calf 5695: and they said 559 8799, These [be] thy gods 430, O Israel 3478, which brought 5927 8689 thee up out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714.

32:5 And when Aaron 175 saw 7200 8799 [it], he built 1129 8799 an altar 4196 before 6440 it; and Aaron 175 made proclamation 7121 8799, and said 559 8799, To morrow 4279 [is] a feast 2282 to the LORD 3068.

32:6 And they rose up early 7925 8686 on the morrow 4283, and offered 5927 8686 burnt offerings 5930, and brought 5066 8686 peace offerings 8002; and the people 5971 sat 3427 8799 down to eat 398 8800 and to drink 8354 8800, and rose up 6965 8799 to play 6711 8763.

32:7 And the LORD 3068 said 1696 8762 unto Moses 4872, Go 3212 8798, get thee down 3381 8798; for thy people 5971, which thou broughtest 5927 8689 out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714, have corrupted 7843 8765 [themselves]:

32:8 They have turned 5493 8804 aside quickly 4118 out of the way 1870 which I commanded 6680 8765 them: they have made 6213 8804 them a molten 4541 calf 5695, and have worshipped 7812 8691 it, and have sacrificed 2076 8799 thereunto, and said 559 8799, These [be] thy gods 430, O Israel 3478, which have brought thee up 5927 8689 out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714.

32:9 And the LORD 3068 said 559 8799 unto Moses 4872, I have seen 7200 8804 this people 5971, and, behold, it [is] a stiffnecked 7186 6203 people 5971:

32:10 Now therefore let me alone 3240 8685, that my wrath 639 may wax hot 2734 8799 against them, and that I may consume 3615 8762 them: and I will make 6213 8799 of thee a great 1419 nation 1471.

32:11 And Moses 4872 besought 2470 8762 6440 the LORD 3068 his God 430, and said 559 8799, LORD 3068, why doth thy wrath 639 wax hot 2734 8799 against thy people 5971, which thou hast brought forth 3318 8689 out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714 with great 1419 power 3581, and with a mighty 2389 hand 3027?(the LORD: Heb. the face of the LORD)

32:12 Wherefore should the Egyptians 4714 speak 559 8799, and say 559 8800, For mischief 7451 did he bring 3318 8689 them out, to slay 2026 8800 them in the mountains 2022, and to consume 3615 8763 them from the face 6440 of the earth 127? Turn 7725 8798 from thy fierce 2740 wrath 639, and repent 5162 8734 of this evil 7451 against thy people 5971.

32:13 Remember 2142 8798 Abraham 85, Isaac 3327, and Israel 3478, thy servants 5650, to whom thou swarest 7650 8738 by thine own self, and saidst 1696 8762 unto them, I will multiply 7235 8686 your seed 2233 as the stars 3556 of heaven 8064, and all this land 776 that I have spoken 559 8804 of will I give 5414 8799 unto your seed 2233, and they shall inherit 5157 8804 [it] for ever 5769.

32:14 And the LORD 3068 repented 5162 8735 of the evil 7451 which he thought 1696 8765 to do 6213 8800 unto his people 5971.

32:15 And Moses 4872 turned 6437 8799, and went down 3381 8799 from the mount 2022, and the two 8147 tables 3871 of the testimony 5715 [were] in his hand 3027: the tables 3871 [were] written 3789 8803 on both 8147 their sides 5676; on the one side and on the other [were] they written 3789 8803.

32:16 And the tables 3871 [were] the work 4639 of God 430, and the writing 4385 [was] the writing 4385 of God 430, graven 2801 8803 upon the tables 3871.

32:17 And when Joshua 3091 heard 8085 8799 the noise 6963 of the people 5971 as they shouted 7452, he said 559 8799 unto Moses 4872, [There is] a noise 6963 of war 4421 in the camp 4264.

32:18 And he said 559 8799, [It is] not the voice 6963 of [them that] shout 6030 8800 for mastery 1369, neither [is it] the voice 6963 of [them that] cry 6030 8800 for being overcome 2476: [but] the noise 6963 of [them that] sing 6031 8763 do I hear 8085 8802.(being…: Heb. weakness)

32:19 And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh 7126 8804 unto the camp 4264, that he saw 7200 8799 the calf 5695, and the dancing 4246: and Moses' 4872 anger 639 waxed hot 2734 8799, and he cast 7993 8686 the tables 3871 out of his hands 3027, and brake 7665 8762 them beneath 8478 the mount 2022.

32:20 And he took 3947 8799 the calf 5695 which they had made 6213 8804, and burnt 8313 8799 [it] in the fire 784, and ground 2912 8799 [it] to powder 1854 8804, and strawed 2219 8799 [it] upon 6440 the water 4325, and made the children 1121 of Israel 3478 drink 8248 8686 [of it].

32:21 And Moses 4872 said 559 8799 unto Aaron 175, What did 6213 8804 this people 5971 unto thee, that thou hast brought 935 8689 so great 1419 a sin 2401 upon them?

32:22 And Aaron 175 said 559 8799, Let not the anger 639 of my lord 113 wax hot 2734 8799: thou knowest 3045 8804 the people 5971, that they [are set] on mischief 7451.

32:23 For they said 559 8799 unto me, Make 6213 8798 us gods 430, which shall go 3212 8799 before 6440 us: for [as for] this Moses 4872, the man 376 that brought us up 5927 8689 out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714, we wot 3045 8804 not what is become of him.

32:24 And I said 559 8799 unto them, Whosoever hath any gold 2091, let them break 6561 8690 [it] off. So they gave 5414 8799 [it] me: then I cast 7993 8686 it into the fire 784, and there came out 3318 8799 this calf 5695.

32:25 And when Moses 4872 saw 7200 8799 that the people 5971 [were] naked 6544 8803; (for Aaron 175 had made them naked 6544 8804 unto [their] shame 8103 among their enemies 6965 8801:)(their enemies: Heb. those that rose up against them)

32:26 Then Moses 4872 stood 5975 8799 in the gate 8179 of the camp 4264, and said 559 8799, Who [is] on the LORD'S 3068 side? [let him come] unto me. And all the sons 1121 of Levi 3878 gathered 622 8735 themselves together unto him.

32:27 And he said 559 8799 unto them, Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478, Put 7760 8798 every man 376 his sword 2719 by his side 3409, [and] go 5674 8798 in and out 7725 8798 from gate 8179 to gate 8179 throughout the camp 4264, and slay 2026 8798 every man 376 his brother 251, and every man 376 his companion 7453, and every man 376 his neighbour 7138.

32:28 And the children 1121 of Levi 3878 did 6213 8799 according to the word 1697 of Moses 4872: and there fell 5307 8799 of the people 5971 that day 3117 about three 7969 thousand 505 men 376.

32:29 For Moses 4872 had said 559 8799, Consecrate yourselves 4390 8798 3027 to day 3117 to the LORD 3068, even 3588 every man 376 upon his son 1121, and upon his brother 251; that he may bestow 5414 8800 upon you a blessing 1293 this day 3117.(For Moses…: or, And Moses said, Consecrate yourselves to day to the LORD, because every man hath been against his brother, etc)(Consecrate…: Heb. Fill your hands)

32:30 And it came to pass on the morrow 4283, that Moses 4872 said 559 8799 unto the people 5971, Ye have sinned 2398 8804 a great 1419 sin 2401: and now I will go up 5927 8799 unto the LORD 3068; peradventure 194 I shall make an atonement 3722 8762 for 1157 your sin 2403.

32:31 And Moses 4872 returned 7725 8799 unto the LORD 3068, and said 559 8799, Oh 577, this people 5971 have sinned 2398 8804 a great 1419 sin 2401, and have made 6213 8799 them gods 430 of gold 2091.

32:32 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive 5375 8799 their sin 2403--; and if not, blot 4229 8798 me, I pray thee, out of thy book 5612 which thou hast written 3789 8804.

32:33 And the LORD 3068 said 559 8799 unto Moses 4872, Whosoever 834 hath sinned 2398 8804 against me, him will I blot out 4229 8799 of my book 5612.

32:34 Therefore now go 3212 8798, lead 5148 8798 the people 5971 unto [the place] of which I have spoken 1696 8765 unto thee: behold, mine Angel 4397 shall go 3212 8799 before 6440 thee: nevertheless in the day 3117 when I visit 6485 8800 I will visit 6485 8804 their sin 2403 upon them.

32:35 And the LORD 3068 plagued 5062 8799 the people 5971, because 834 they made 6213 8804 the calf 5695, which 834 Aaron 175 made 6213 8804.
