Corinthians 10:6 (KJV) 6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we
should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.. Exodus 32:1-35 (KJV)
1 And 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. 2
And 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. 3 And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their
ears, and brought them unto Aaron. 4 And 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. 5 And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron
made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD. 6 And they
rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace
offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.
7 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou
broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves: 8 They 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. 9 And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and,
behold, it is a stiffnecked people: 10 Now 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. 11 And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said,
LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought
forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand? 12
Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them
out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the
earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people.
13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by
thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars
of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your
seed, and they shall inherit it for ever. 14 And the LORD repented of the
evil which he thought to do unto his people. 15 And Moses turned, and went
down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand:
the tables were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other
were they written. 16 And the tables were the work of God, and the writing
was the writing of God, graven upon the tables. 17 And when Joshua heard the
noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, There is a noise of
war in the camp. 18 And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for
mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome: but the
noise of them that sing do I hear. 19 And 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. 20 And 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. 21 And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this
people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them? |
