Exodus 32:18The MessageBut Moses said, Those aren’t songs of victory, And those aren’t songs of defeat, I hear songs of people throwing a party. See the chapter |
And that’s what it was. When Moses came near to the camp and saw the calf and the people dancing, his anger flared. He threw down the tablets and smashed them to pieces at the foot of the mountain. He took the calf that they had made, melted it down with fire, pulverized it to powder, then scattered it on the water and made the Israelites drink it.
