With Aaron, too, the Lord was deeply angry, and would have destroyed him; but I prayed for Aaron also at that time.
Moses asked Aaron, “What did this people do to you that you should lead them into a grave sin?”
Thus the Lord struck the people for making the calf, the one that Aaron made.
For I dreaded the fierce anger of the Lord against you: his wrath would destroy you. Yet once again the Lord listened to me.
Then, taking the calf, the sinful object you had made, I burnt it and ground it down to powder as fine as dust, which I threw into the wadi that went down the mountainside.
