38. This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness, with the angel who spoke to him in the mount Sinai, and with our fathers; who received living oracles to give to us;
39. to whom our fathers would not be subject, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back to Egypt,
40. saying to Aaron, Make us gods who shall go before us; for this Moses, who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what has happened to him.
41. And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
