The golden calf incident. 3,000 smote.


In Exodus 24, Moses tells everyone that the LORD has a message for only him to hear and He specifically bade everyone else to stay away except Moses. Being the holy man he was, Moses dutifully obeyed the LORD and went to the top of mount Sinai for 40 days and 40 nights.


While he was up the people got nervous and told Aaron so. Being the holy man of faith Aaron was, he abandons God after a little over a month and tells the people to gather up all their gold to make an idol.


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.

Well, God gets wind of this and, I tell you what, He ain't none too happy about it.


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.

God decides He is going to smite them all.

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.

Moses doesn't like that idea, so he tells God to take it back.

12Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people.


God did what Moses told him to.

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

Now Moses is mad as a wet hornet! He comes down the mountain and He wants some answers right then and right there.

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?

Aaron takes full responsibility by telling Moses the people made him do it.

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.

It turns out Aaron didn't even form the thing. The fire did it all by itself.

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.


Aaron was such a standup guy and he already was handling the matter by stripping everyone worshiping the calf naked as a jay bird. Honest Moses, it wasn't anything dirty like an orgy.

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

Moses gathers the Levites for some True Christian smiting.


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.


As a followup God decides to send a plague.

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

Oddly enough Aaron didn't die for that. I guess being Moses' brother has its privileges.
