20 And he took the calf which they had made, and burned it in the fire, and ground it into powder, and scattered it on the face of the water and made the children of Yisra’ĕl drink it.
21 And Mosheh said to Aharon, “What did this people do to you that you have brought so great a sin upon them?”
22 And Aharon said, “Do not let the displeasure of my master burn. You know the people, that it is in evil.
23 “And they said to me, ‘Make us mighty ones who go before us. For this Mosheh, the man who brought us out of the land of Mitsrayim, we do not know what has become of him.’
24 “And I said to them, ‘Whoever has gold, let them take it off.’ And they gave it to me, and I threw it into the fire, and this calf came out.”
25 And Mosheh saw that the people were let loose, for Aharon had let them loose, to their shame among their enemies.
26 And Mosheh stood in the entrance of the camp, and said, “Who is for יהוה? Come to me.” And all the sons of Lĕwi gathered themselves to him.
