Exodus 32:2-5 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

2. And Aaron said to them, "Take the golden earrings from the ears of your wives, and your sons and daughters, and bring them to me."

3. And the people did what he had commanded, carrying the earrings to Aaron.

4. And when he had received them, he formed these by the work of a casting furnace, and he made from these a molten calf. And they said: "These are your gods, O Israel, who led you away from the land of Egypt."

5. And when Aaron had seen it, he built an altar before it, and he cried out with a voice of proclamation, saying, "Tomorrow is the solemnity of the Lord."
