Every one that defileth it, fhall furely be put to death for whofoever doth any work therein, that foul fhall be cut off from amongst his people. 15 Six days may work be done, but in the feventh is the fabbath of reft, holy to the LORD: whofoever doth any work in the fabbath-day, he fhall furely be put to death. 16 Wherefore the children of Ifrael fall keep the fabbath, to obferve the fabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. 17 It is a fign between me and the children of Ifrael for ever: for in fix days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on, the feventh day he refted, and was refreshed. 18 And he gave unto Mofes, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of teftimony, tables of ftone, written with the finger of God. CHAP. XXXII. 1 The people caufe Aaron to make a calf. 19 Mofes breaketh the tables. 25 The idolaters flain. delayed to come down out of the the that Mofes mount, the people gathered themfelves together unto Aaron, and faid unto him, Up, make us gods which fhall go before us: for as for this Mofes, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him. 2 And Aaron faid unto them, Break off the golden car-rings which are in the ears of your wives, of your fons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me. 3 And all the people brake off the golden ear-rings which were in their cars, and brought them unto Aaron. 4 And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, afer he had made it a molten calf: and they faid, Thele be thy gods, O Ifrael, which brought thee up out of the land Sgypt. Exodus. The golden calf. 5 And when Aaron faw it, he buil an altar before it, and Aaron made proclamation and faid, To morrow is a feaft to the LORD. 6 And they rofe up early on the morrow, and offered burnt-offerings, and brought peace-offerings: and the people fat down to eat and to drink, and rofe up to play. And the LORD faid unto Mofes, Go, get thee down: for thy people which thou broughteft out of the land of E gypt, have corrupted themselves. 8 They have turned afide quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have facrificed thereunto, and faid, Thefe be thy gods, O Ifrael, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 9 And the LORD faid unto Mofes, I have feen this people, and behold, it is a ftiff-necked people. 10 Now therefore let me alone, that my wrach may wax hot against them, and that I may confume them: and I will make of thee a great nation. 11 And Mofes befought the LORD his God, and faid, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou haft brought forth out of the land of Egypt, with great power, and wich a mighty hand? 12 Wherefore fhould the Egyptians fpeak and fay, For mischief did he bring them out, to flay them in the mountains, and to confume them from the face of the earth?
