Exodus

Exodus 32:22–24

²²“Do not be enraged, my lord,” Aaron replied. “You yourself know that the people are intent on evil. ²³They told me, ‘Make us gods who will go before us. As for this Moses who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him!’

²⁴So I said to them, ‘Whoever has gold, let him take it off,’ and they gave it to me. And when I threw it into the fire, out came this calf!”
