for as for this Moses, 00:10:01.77\00:10:04.94 the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, 00:10:05.15\00:10:07.43 we wot not what is become of him. 00:10:07.63\00:10:09.81 And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, 00:10:10.01\00:10:14.03 which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, 00:10:14.13\00:10:16.44 and of your daughters, and bring them unto me. 00:10:16.54\00:10:18.19 And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were 00:10:18.40\00:10:21.39 in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron. 00:10:21.49\00:10:23.54 And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it 00:10:23.74\00:10:26.61 with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: 00:10:26.81\00:10:31.06 and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, 00:10:31.26\00:10:35.16 which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 00:10:35.26\00:10:37.32 And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; 00:10:37.52\00:10:40.94 and Aaron made proclamation, and said, 00:10:41.15\00:10:43.08 Tomorrow is a feast to the Lord. 00:10:43.18\00:10:45.13 And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered 00:10:47.02\00:10:49.95 burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings, 00:10:50.05\00:10:52.09 and the people sat down to eat and to drink, 00:10:52.29\00:10:54.43 and rose up to play. 00:10:54.53\00:10:56.20 And the Lord said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; 00:10:56.40\00:11:01.05 for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land 00:11:01.25\00:11:04.20 of Egypt, have corrupted themselves. 00:11:04.30\00:11:06.88 They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded 00:11:06.98\00:11:11.29 them: they have made them a molten calf, 00:11:11.39\00:11:13.88 and have worshiped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, 00:11:13.98\00:11:16.54 and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have 00:11:16.64\00:11:18.88 brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 00:11:18.98\00:11:20.89 And the Lord said unto Moses, I have seen this people, 00:11:21.09\00:11:25.70 and, behold, it is a stiff-necked people: 00:11:25.90\00:11:28.92 Now therefore let Me alone, that my wrath may wax hot 00:11:29.12\00:11:34.04 against them, that I may consume them: 00:11:34.14\00:11:36.66 and I will make of thee a great nation. 00:11:36.86\00:11:39.91 And Moses besought the Lord his God, and said, 00:11:40.21\00:11:45.69 Lord, why doth Thy wrath wax hot against Thy people, 00:11:45.79\00:11:50.67 which thou has brought forth out of the land of Egypt 00:11:50.77\00:11:52.93 with great power, and with a mighty hand? 00:11:53.03\00:11:55.22 Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, 00:11:55.42\00:11:58.07 For mischief did He bring them out, to slay them in the 00:11:58.27\00:12:01.20 mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? 00:12:01.30\00:12:03.54 Turn from Thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil 00:12:03.74\00:12:08.35 against Thy people. 00:12:08.45\00:12:09.54 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, 00:12:09.64\00:12:12.99 to whom Thou swarest by thine own self and saidest unto them 00:12:13.19\00:12:16.72 I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, 00:12:16.82\00:12:20.12 and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your 00:12:20.32\00:12:23.72 seed, and they shall inherit it for ever. 00:12:23.82\00:12:25.73 And the Lord repented of the evil which He thought to do 00:12:25.93\00:12:30.59 unto His people. And Moses turned, and went down 00:12:30.69\00:12:35.36 from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony 00:12:35.46\00:12:38.35 were in his hand: 00:12:38.45\00:12:39.54 the tables were written on both 00:12:39.74\00:12:40.93 their sides; on the one side 00:12:41.14\00:12:43.08 and on the other were they written. 00:12:43.22\00:12:44.60 And the tables were the work of God, 00:12:44.63\00:12:47.33 and the writing was the writing of God, 00:12:47.53\00:12:49.31 graven upon the tables. And when Joshua heard the noise 00:12:49.51\00:12:53.53 of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, 00:12:53.63\00:12:55.92 There is a noise of war in the camp. 00:12:56.13\00:12:58.42 And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, 00:12:58.62\00:13:02.99 neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome: 00:13:03.19\00:13:06.19 but the noise of them that sing do I hear. 00:13:06.39\00:13:11.02 And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, 00:13:11.22\00:13:14.76 that he saw the calf, and the dancing: 00:13:14.96\00:13:17.72 and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables 00:13:17.75\00:13:21.82 out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount. 00:13:21.92\00:13:24.15 And he took the calf which they had made, 00:13:24.35\00:13:26.56 and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, 00:13:26.76\00:13:29.77 and strewed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel 00:13:29.88\00:13:32.31 drink of it. And Moses said unto Aaron, 00:13:32.41\00:13:34.63 What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great 00:13:34.83\00:13:38.42 a sin upon them? And Aaron said, 00:13:38.52\00:13:41.32 Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people 00:13:41.52\00:13:45.01 that they are set on mischief. 00:13:45.11\00:13:46.44 For they said unto me, Make us gods, 00:13:46.64\00:13:48.90 which shall go before us: for as for this Moses, 00:13:49.00\00:13:51.58 the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, 00:13:51.78\00:13:54.03 we wot not what is become of him. 00:13:54.23\00:13:55.82 And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, 00:13:56.02\00:13:58.70 let them break it off. So they gave it me: 00:13:58.90\00:14:00.74 and I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf. 00:14:00.94\00:14:04.28 And when Moses saw that the people were naked; 00:14:04.48\00:14:07.42 (for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame among 00:14:07.63\00:14:10.08 their enemies:) Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, 00:14:10.19\00:14:13.41 and said, Who is on the Lord's side? let him come unto me. 00:14:13.61\00:14:18.54 And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together 00:14:18.74\00:14:22.37 unto him. 00:14:22.47\00:14:24.20 Thank you for joining with me today to read the Word of God. 00:14:24.40\00:14:27.98 Until we are together again, when the question is asked 00:14:28.18\00:14:31.19 "Who is on the Lord's side? " may every one of us 00:14:31.39\00:14:33.45 stand up immediately and say "Count me in. " 00:14:33.65\00:14:36.48 Thank you. Join me again next time. Goodbye. 00:14:36.68\00:14:39.90
