1When the squad saw Moses was taking forever to come down from the mountain, they hit up Aaron and were like, "Yo, make us some gods to lead us, 'cause we don’t even know where Moses went."

2Aaron replied, "Aight, break off those gold earrings from your wives, sons, and daughters, and bring 'em to me."

3So everyone took off their gold earrings and brought them to Aaron.

4He took them and crafted a golden calf, and the people were like, "These are your gods, Israel, who brought you outta Egypt."

5When Aaron saw it, he built an altar in front of it and announced, "Tomorrow's gonna be a feast for the Lord."

6They woke up early the next day, offered burnt sacrifices, and then chilled to eat and drink, and then they got up to vibe.

7The Lord told Moses, "Yo, go down; your people, the ones you brought outta Egypt, are acting up."

8They turned away real quick from what I told them and made a golden calf, worshipped it, and sacrificed to it, saying, "These are your gods, Israel, who brought you outta Egypt."

9The Lord said to Moses, "I’ve seen this crew, and they’re super stubborn."

10"So just let me be, so I can get mad at them and wipe them out; then I'll make you into a great nation."

11Moses was like, "Yo God, why you so mad at your peeps that you brought outta Egypt with big vibes and a savage hand?"

12Like, what are the Egyptians gonna say? That you brought them out just to wreck them in the mountains? Chill with that fierce wrath and reconsider this move against your people, no cap.

13Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your homies? You promised them you'd boost their fam like the stars in the sky, and all this land you talked about? That’s for their crew forever, periodt.

14And God was like, "Okay, I’ll chill on that evil plan for my people."

15Moses bounced down from the mountain, holding the two tablets of the testimony, all written up on both sides, it was lit.

16Those tablets were straight from God, and the writing? Total divine vibes, carved right into them.

17When Joshua peeped the noise from the crowd, he told Moses, "Sounds like a war is poppin' off in the camp."

18Moses was like, "Nah, that ain't the sound of winning or losing, it’s just the vibes of them singing."

19As he got closer to the camp, he spotted the calf and the dancing, and Moses got mad, threw down the tablets, and smashed them at the mountain.

20Then he took the calf they made, roasted it in the fire, ground it to dust, sprinkled it in the water, and made the kids of Israel drink it, fr.

21Moses was like, "Yo Aaron, what did these people do to you? You really brought this big sin on them?"

22Aaron was like, "Chill with the anger, bro. You know these people are always on some wild stuff."

23They told me, 'Make us some gods to lead us, 'cause we have no clue what happened to Moses, the dude who got us outta Egypt."

24I was like, "Whoever's got gold, give it up." So they handed it over, and I threw it in the fire, and out popped this calf.

25When Moses saw the people were out here naked, Aaron had them looking sus in front of their enemies.

26Moses stood at the camp's entrance and asked, "Who's rolling with the Lord? Come join me." All the Levites came through.

27He told them, "The Lord God of Israel says, 'Grab your swords, go from gate to gate, and take out your bros and neighbors.'"

28The Levites did what Moses said, and that day about three thousand people fell.

29Moses said, "Get yourselves right with the Lord today, every man with his son and bro, so you can get blessed."

30The next day, Moses told the people, "Y'all really messed up, and now I'm going up to the Lord to see if I can make things right for you."

31Moses went back to the Lord and was like, "Yo, these people totally messed up and made gold gods. That's sus."

32But now, if you’re gonna forgive their sins, do it; if not, just take me outta your book, please.

33The Lord was like, "Anyone who sins against me, I’m gonna blot them outta my book, no cap."

34So now, go lead the people to that spot I told you about; my Angel's got your back, but when I show up, I’ll deal with their sins.

35The Lord hit the people with a plague 'cause they made that calf Aaron whipped up.

1And 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.

2And 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.

3And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.

4And 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.

5And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the Lord.

6And 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.

7And the Lord said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:

8They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

9And the Lord said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:

10Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.

11And Moses besought the Lord his God, and said, Lord, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand?

12Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people.

13Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever.

14And the Lord repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.

15And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand: the tables were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written.

16And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables.

17And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp.

18And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome: but the noise of them that sing do I hear.

19And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses’ anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount.

20And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.

21And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?

22And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they are set on mischief.

23For they said unto me, 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.

24And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.

25And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame among their enemies:)

26Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the Lord’s side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him.

27And he said unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour.

28And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.

29For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves to day to the Lord, even every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.

30And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto the Lord; peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin.

31And Moses returned unto the Lord, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.

32Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin—; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.

33And the Lord said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.

34Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee: nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them.

35And the Lord plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.
