Exodus 32:4

‘You shall not make other gods besides Me; gods of silver or gods of gold, you shall not make for yourselves.

Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, “Go! Go down at once, for your people, whom you brought up from the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves.

“Indeed they said to me, ‘Make gods 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.’

“And 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.”

Then Yahweh smote the people because of what they did with the calf which Aaron had made.

So the king took counsel, and made two golden calves, and he said to them, “It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem; behold your gods, O Israel, that brought you up from the land of Egypt.”

And Jehu said, “Sanctify a solemn assembly for Baal.” And they summoned them.

“Even when they made for themselves A molten calf And said, ‘This is your God Who brought you up from Egypt,’ And committed great blasphemies,

They made a calf in Horeb And worshiped a molten image.

And you will defile your graven images overlaid with your silver, and your molten images plated with your gold. You will scatter them as an impure thing and say to them, “Be gone!”

“But they rebelled against Me and were not willing to listen to Me; each one did not cast away the detestable things of their eyes, nor did they forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I said I would pour out My wrath on them, to spend My anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.

“She did not forsake her harlotries from the time in Egypt; for in her youth men had lain with her, and they handled her virgin bosom and poured out their harlotry on her.

“At that time they made a calf and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and were rejoicing in the works of their hands.

Do not be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and stood up to play.”
