 [1 ](/kjv/exodus/32/1) And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for *as for* this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
 
 [2 ](/kjv/exodus/32/2) And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which *are* in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring *them* unto me.
 
 [3 ](/kjv/exodus/32/3) And all the people brake off the golden earrings which *were* in their ears, and brought *them* unto Aaron.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/exodus/32/4) And he received *them* at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These *be* thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/exodus/32/5) And when Aaron saw *it*, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow *is* a feast to the LORD.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/exodus/32/6) And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.
