摩西便恳求耶和华他的神说，耶和华阿，你为什么向你的百姓发烈怒呢，这百姓是你用大力和大能的手从埃及地领出来的。
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?
于是耶和华后悔，不把所说的祸降与他的百姓。
And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.
是神的工作，字是神写的，刻在版上。
And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables.
约书亚一听见百姓呼喊的声音，就对摩西说，在营里有争战的声音。
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.
摩西挨近营前就看见牛犊，又看见人跳舞，便发烈怒，把两块版扔在山下摔碎了，
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.
又将他们所铸的牛犊用火焚烧，磨得粉碎，撒在水面上，叫以色列人喝。
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.
亚伦说，求我主不要发烈怒。这百姓专于作恶，是你知道的。
And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they are set on mischief.
我对他们说，凡有金环的可以摘下来，他们就给了我。我把金环扔在火中，这牛犊便出来了。
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.
摩西见百姓放肆（亚伦纵容他们，使他们在仇敌中间被讥刺），
And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame among their enemies:)
就站在营门中，说，凡属耶和华的，都要到我这里来。于是利未的子孙都到他那里聚集。
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.
