WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:05.400 Chapter 32 And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the 00:05.400 --> 00:09.080 mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, 00:09.320 --> 00:12.140 Up, make us gods, which shall go before us. 00:12.300 --> 00:15.960 For as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, 00:16.300 --> 00:17.920 we want not what has become of him. 00:18.220 --> 00:22.160 And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of 00:22.160 --> 00:26.440 your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me. 00:26.440 --> 00:29.860 And all the people break off the golden earrings, which were in their ears, 00:29.960 --> 00:30.820 and brought them unto Aaron. 00:31.400 --> 00:34.540 And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, 00:35.020 --> 00:36.840 after he had made it a molten calf. 00:37.140 --> 00:40.860 And they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the 00:40.860 --> 00:41.520 land of Egypt. 00:41.840 --> 00:44.220 And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it. 00:44.220 --> 00:48.620 And Aaron made proclamation, and said, Tomorrow is a feast to the Lord. 00:48.740 --> 00:51.920 And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought 00:51.920 --> 00:52.540 peace offerings. 00:52.540 --> 00:56.420 And the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play. 00:56.900 --> 01:01.560 And the Lord said unto Moses, Go, get thee down, for thy people, 01:01.720 --> 01:04.820 which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves. 01:05.360 --> 01:08.800 They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them. 01:09.300 --> 01:13.060 They have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have 01:13.060 --> 01:18.380 sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have 01:18.380 --> 01:20.120 brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 01:20.500 --> 01:26.220 And the Lord said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a 01:26.220 --> 01:27.100 stiff-necked people. 01:27.760 --> 01:33.180 Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may 01:33.180 --> 01:36.380 consume them, and I will make of thee a great nation. 01:36.720 --> 01:42.660 And Moses besought the Lord his God, and said, Lord, why doth thy wrath wax hot 01:42.660 --> 01:46.320 against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt 01:46.320 --> 01:49.340 with great power, and with a mighty hand? 01:50.320 --> 01:54.600 Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them 01:54.600 --> 01:58.440 out to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the 01:58.440 --> 01:58.740 earth? 01:59.280 --> 02:03.800 Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people. 02:04.560 --> 02:09.580 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swearest by 02:09.580 --> 02:15.360 thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of 02:15.360 --> 02:19.920 heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, 02:20.120 --> 02:21.820 and they shall inherit it for ever. 02:22.100 --> 02:25.260 And the Lord repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people. 02:25.620 --> 02:29.600 And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony 02:29.600 --> 02:30.580 were in his hand. 02:30.900 --> 02:34.780 The tables were written on both their sides, on the one side, and on the other 02:34.780 --> 02:35.360 were they written. 02:35.980 --> 02:39.620 And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, 02:39.880 --> 02:40.900 graven upon the tables. 02:41.360 --> 02:45.120 And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto 02:45.120 --> 02:47.400 Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp. 02:47.660 --> 02:52.820 And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the 02:52.820 --> 02:58.220 voice of them that cry for being overcome, but the noise of them that sing do I hear. 02:58.400 --> 03:02.300 And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf 03:02.300 --> 03:02.940 and the dancing. 03:03.460 --> 03:07.820 And Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and break 03:07.820 --> 03:08.800 them beneath the mount. 03:08.800 --> 03:13.260 And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to 03:13.260 --> 03:17.260 powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of 03:17.260 --> 03:17.480 it. 03:17.720 --> 03:22.480 And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought 03:22.480 --> 03:24.120 so great a sin upon them? 03:24.520 --> 03:27.980 And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my Lord wax hot. 03:28.400 --> 03:31.080 Thou knowest the people, that they are set on mischief. 03:31.080 --> 03:34.860 For they said unto me, Make us gods which shall go before us. 03:35.100 --> 03:38.740 For as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, 03:39.060 --> 03:40.680 we want not what is become of him. 03:41.200 --> 03:45.020 And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off. 03:45.180 --> 03:46.160 So they gave it me. 03:46.600 --> 03:50.200 Then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf. 03:50.380 --> 03:54.440 And when Moses saw that the people were naked, for Aaron had made them naked unto 03:54.440 --> 03:58.220 their shame among their enemies, then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, 03:58.280 --> 04:00.540 and said, Who is on the Lord's side? 04:01.300 --> 04:02.860 Let him come unto me. 04:03.060 --> 04:05.940 And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him. 04:06.300 --> 04:12.060 And he said unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Put every man his sword by 04:12.060 --> 04:17.900 his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every 04:17.900 --> 04:22.440 man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor. 04:22.700 --> 04:25.320 And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses. 04:25.320 --> 04:28.860 And there fell of the people that day about three thousand men. 04:29.320 --> 04:35.120 For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves today to the Lord, even every man upon his 04:35.120 --> 04:39.580 son and upon his brother, that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day. 04:39.820 --> 04:44.460 And it came to pass on the morrow that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned 04:44.460 --> 04:48.400 a great sin, and now I will go up unto the Lord. 04:49.160 --> 04:51.880 Peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin. 04:52.140 --> 04:56.840 And Moses returned unto the Lord and said, O this people have sinned a great sin, 04:57.120 --> 04:58.820 and have made them gods of gold. 04:59.860 --> 05:06.620 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin, and if not, blot me, I pray thee, 05:06.940 --> 05:08.960 out of thy book which thou hast written. 05:09.360 --> 05:14.140 And the Lord said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot 05:14.140 --> 05:14.980 out of my book. 05:15.680 --> 05:20.140 Therefore, now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto 05:20.140 --> 05:20.460 thee. 05:21.120 --> 05:23.520 Behold, mine angel shall go before thee. 05:24.160 --> 05:28.280 Nevertheless, in the day when I visit, I will visit their sin upon them. 05:28.540 --> 05:32.360 And the Lord plagued the people, because they made the calf which Aaron made.
