Exodus 32:2-4

The Gold Calf

²So Aaron said, “Take the gold rings from the ears of your wives and sons and daughters, and bring them to me.”

³All the people took the gold rings from their ears and brought them to Aaron. ⁴Then Aaron took the gold, melted it down, and molded it into the shape of a calf. When the people saw it, they exclaimed, “O Israel, these are the gods who brought you out of the land of Egypt!”
