Exodus 32

2 So Aaron told them, “Take off the gold earrings that are on your wives and sons and daughters, and bring them to me.”

4 He took the gold from their hands, and with an engraving tool he fashioned it into a molten calf. And they said, “These, O Israel, are your gods, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!”
