Exodus 32
They had made a molten calf
Exodus 32:1 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.
-
Moses did not bring them out of the
land of Egypt
-
God brought them out of Egypt
-
Moses did as God told him to do
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.
-
Aaron was a high priest = Aaron made a molten calf
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.
-
New feast as
today = Easter eggs on the Most highest
day of the year.
-
Passover Day the Most Highest Day of the year
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:
-
Did God said My people?
God said thy people
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.
-
They have made them a molten calf, and have
worshipped it
-
They just witness the red sea open up...
9 And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it
is a stiff necked 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.
-
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?
-
John 15:19 If ye were of the world, the
world would love his own: but because ye are
not of the
world, but
I have chosen you out of the world,
therefore the world hateth you.
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.
-
If not for Moses, God would of destroyed them
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.
-
Just like today, people are not thankful for any
thing, they are the "give me", "I want it now"
generation
-
They want to blame God for their problems
-
Why would God bless people... they go their own
ways and not God's ways
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.
-
Exodus 24:12 And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me
into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee
tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which
I have written; that thou mayest teach them.
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?
22 And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest
the people, that they are set on mischief.
-
Aaron was a high priest = blaming the people =
they are set on mischief
23 For they said unto me, 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.
-
Do you want to follow man or God's word?
-
Aaron was a high priest
24 And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off.
So they gave it me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out
this calf.
25 And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made
them naked unto their shame among their enemies:)
26 Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the
LORD's side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered
themselves together unto him.
-
Who is on the LORD's side? let him come unto me.
-
And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together
unto him.
27 And he said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Put every
man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate
throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his
companion, and every man his neighbor.
28 And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and
there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.
29 For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves to day to the LORD, even
every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon
you a blessing this day.
30 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people,
Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto the LORD;
peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin.
31 And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have
sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.
32 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin and if not, blot me, I
pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.
33 And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him
will I blot out of my book.
-
Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I
blot out of my book
34 Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have
spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee: nevertheless
in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them.
35 And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the calf, which
Aaron made.
