Charles Spurgeon Commentary Exodus 32:3

"And all the people brake off the golden rings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron." — Exodus 32:3 (ASV)

And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.

Idolaters spare no expense; there is many a worshipper of a god of wood or mud who gives more to that idol than professing Christians give to the cause of the one living and true God. It is sad that it should be so.
