Baptist
SCRIPTURE

"And Jehovah spake unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, that thou broughtest up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:" — Exodus 32:7 (ASV)

And the LORD said to Moses, Go get you down; for your people, which you brought out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:

See how Jehovah will not own these idolaters as his people. He says to Moses, Your people which you brought out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves.

And the LORD said unto Moses,

Just in the midst of his hallowed communion, the Lord said to him—

Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:

God would not own them as His people. He called them Moses' people: thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:

How startled Moses must have been when Jehovah said this to him!
