And I said to them, To whom is gold, he shall break it off. And they will give it to me, and I shall cast it into the fire and this calf will come out And Moses will see the people that it was uncovered (for Aaron uncovered it for overthrow among their enemies).

And he will say to them, Thus said Jehovah the God of Israel, Put ye each his sword upon his thigh, and pass ye through and turn ye back from gate to gate in the camp, and slay ye each his brother, and each his friend, and each his near one. And the sons of Levi will do according to the word of Moses: and there will fall from the people in that day about three thousand men. And Moses will say, Fill your hand this day to Jehovah, for each upon his son and upon his brother, to give to you a blessing this day.

And I shall see, and behold, ye sinned against Jehovah your God; ye made to you a molten calf; ye turned aside quickly from the way which Jehovah commanded you.

And be began to speak to them in parables. A man planted a vineyard, and put a fence round, and digged a winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went abroad. And he sent a servant to the husbandmen in time, that he might receive of the husbandmen from the fruit of the vineyard. And they, taking him, stripped, and sent away empty. read more.
And again he sent to them another servant; and having stoned the same they treated in a summary manner, and sent away despised. And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; truly stripping some, and killing some. Yet therefore having one dearly beloved son, and him he sent last to them, saying, That they will be changed by my son. And these husbandmen said with themselves, That this is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be our's. And they having taken him, killed, and cast out of the vineyard. Therefore what will the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the hushandmen, and give the vineyard to others. And have ye not read this writing; The stone which the builders disapproved of, this was for the head of the corner: This was of the Lord, and is wonderful in our eyes? And they sought to seize him, and they feared the crowd: for they knew that he spake this parable against them: and having let him go they went away.

Hear another parable: A certain man was master of a house, who planted a vineyard, and put a hedge around it, and digged in it a winepress, and let it out to farmers, and went abroad: And when the time of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the farmers, to receive his parts.
