- When the people saw that Moses was so long in coming down from the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said, "Come, make us gods who will go before us. As for this fellow Moses who brought us up out of Egypt, we don't know what has happened to him."
- Aaron answered them, "Take off the gold earrings that your wives, your sons and your daughters are wearing, and bring them to me."
- So all the people took off their earrings and brought them to Aaron.
- He took what they handed him and made it into an idol cast in the shape of a calf, fashioning it with a tool. Then they said, "These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt."
- When Aaron saw this, he built an altar in front of the calf and announced, "Tomorrow there will be a festival to the LORD."

- 百姓见摩西迟延不下山,就大家聚集到亚伦那里,对他说,起来,为我们作神像,可以在我们前面引路,因为领我们出埃及地的那个摩西,我们不知道他遭了什么事。
- 亚伦对他们说,你们去摘下你们妻子,儿女耳上的金环,拿来给我。
- 百姓就都摘下他们耳上的金环,拿来给亚伦。
- 亚伦从他们手里接过来,铸了一只牛犊,用雕刻的器具作成。他们就说,以色列阿,这是领你出埃及地的神。
- 亚伦看见,就在牛犊面前筑坛,且宣告说,明日要向耶和华守节。
