Falsehood » Instances of » Aaron, in attempting to shift responsibility for the making of the golden calf
And, when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him - Up, make for us gods, who shall go before us, for, as for this Moses - the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what hath befallen him. And Aaron said unto them, Break off the rings of gold, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons and of your daughters, - and bring them unto me. And all the people of themselves brake off the rings of gold which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron. read more.
And he received the gold at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, and made it a molten calf, and they said - These, are thy gods, O Israel, who brought thee up, out of the land of Egypt. And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it. And Aaron made proclamation, and said, A festival to Yahweh, to-morrow! So they rose up early, on the morrow, and offered ascending-sacrifices, and brought near peace-offerings, and the people sat down, to eat and to drink, and then rose up - to make sport! Then spake Yahweh unto Moses - Go get thee down, for thy people whom thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt have corrupted themselves. They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them, they have made for themselves - a molten calf, and have bowed themselves down thereto mad have sacrificed thereto, and have said. These, are thy gods, O Israel, who have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. So then Yahweh said unto Moses, - I have looked on this people, and lo! a stiff-necked people, it is. Now, therefore, let me alone, that mine anger may kindle upon them and that I may consume them, and may make of thee And Moses besought the face of Yahweh his God, - and said - Wherefore, O Yahweh, should thine anger kindle upon thy people, whom thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great might and with a firm hand? Wherefore should the Egyptians speak saying - For mischief, hath he taken them forth to slay them among the mountains, and to make an end of them from off the face of the ground? Turn thou from the kindling of thine anger, and be grieved over the calamity to thy people, Have remembrance of Abraham, of Isaac and of Israel thy servants to whom thou didst swear by thyself, and didst speak unto them saying, I will multiply your seed, as the stars of the heavens, - and, all this land of which I have spoken, will I give to your seed, and they shall inherit it to times age-abiding. So then Yahweh was grieved, - over the calamity - which he had spoken of inflicting on his people. And Moses turned and went down out of the mount, with the two tables of testimony in his hand, - tables written upon on both sides of them, on this and on that, were they written. Now as for, the tables, the work of God, they were, - and, as for the writing, the writing of God, it was, graven upon the tables. And Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, - so he said unto Moses - The noise of war, in the camp! But he said - Not the noise of the cry of heroism, nor yet the noise of the cry of defeat, - the noise of alternate song, do I hear. And it came to pass when he drew near unto the camp, and saw the calf, and the dancings, that the anger of Moses kindled, and he cast out of his hands the tables, and brake them in pieces at the foot of the mountain. Then took he the calf which they had made and burned it in the fire, and ground it till it became powder, and strewed it on the face of the waters, and made the sons of Israel drink. And Moses said unto Aaron, What had this people done to thee, - that thou shouldst have brought upon them a great sin? And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord kindle, - thou thyself, knowest the people, that ready for mischief, they are. So they said to me - Make for us gods, who shall go before us, - for, as for this, Moses - the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what hath befallen him. And I said to them - Whosoever hath gold let them break it off, So they gave it to me, - and I cast it into the fire, and there came out - this calf.

Now, therefore, let me alone, that mine anger may kindle upon them and that I may consume them, and may make of thee And Moses besought the face of Yahweh his God, - and said - Wherefore, O Yahweh, should thine anger kindle upon thy people, whom thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great might and with a firm hand?

Sinai » A mountain in the peninsula east of the red sea » The law delivered to moses upon
The chariots of God, are two myriads - thousands repeated, My Lord, is among them Sinai, is in the sanctuary!
And, when forty years were fulfilled, there appeared unto him, in the desert of Mount Sinai, a messenger, in a flame of fire, in a bush.
And he said - Yahweh from Sinai, came near, - Yea he dawned, out of Seir, upon them, He shone forth out of Mount Paran, Yea he came out of holy myriads, - Out of his right hand proceeded fire to guide them.
The same, is he that came to be in the assembly in the desert, with the messenger who was speaking with him in Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, he who welcomed living utterances, to give unto us:
Earth, trembled, Yea, the heavens, dripped at the presence of God, - This Sinai - at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
Ye must take diligent heed, therefore unto your own souls, for ye saw no manner of form, on the day Yahweh spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire;
These, are the words of the covenant which Yahweh commanded Moses to solemnise with the sons of Israel in the land of Moab, - besides the covenant, which he solemnised with them in Horeb.
Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, - which I commanded him in Horeb, for all Israel, statutes and regulations.
These are the statutes and the regulations and the laws, which Yahweh granted between himself, and the sons of Israel, - in Mount Sinai by the mediation of Moses.
which Yahweh commanded Moses in Mount Sinai, - in the day when he commanded the sons of Israel to bring near their oblations unto Yahweh in the desert of Sinai.
And, upon Mount Sinai, camest thou down, and spakest with them out of the heavens, - and gavest them just regulations, and faithful laws, good statutes and commandments.
And when Moses, had gone up unto God, then called Yahweh unto him out of the mountain saying, Thus, shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, And tell the sons of Israel: Ye, have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, - And how I bare you upon wings of eagles, And brought you in unto myself: - Now, therefore, if ye will, indeed hearken, to my voice, And keep my covenant, Then shall ye be mine as a treasure beyond all the peoples, For, mine, is all the earth; read more.
But, ye, shall be mine, As a kingdom of priests, And a holy nation. These, are the words, which thou shalt speak unto the sons of Israel. Then came Moses, and called for the elders of the people, - and put before them all these words which Yahweh had commanded him. And all the people responded together and said, All that Yahweh hath spoken, will we do. And Moses took back the words of the people, unto Yahweh. Then said Yahweh unto Moses: Lo! I, am coming unto thee in the veiling of cloud, in order that the people may hear when I speak with thee, moreover also, that, in thee, they may trust to times age-abiding. Then told Moses the words of the people unto Yahweh. And Yahweh said unto Moses - Go unto the people, and thou shalt hallow them to-day, and to-morrow, - and they shall wash their clothes; and shall be ready, by the third day, - for on the third day, will Yahweh come down in the sight of all the people upon Mount Sinai. So then thou shalt set bounds for the people round about saying, Take heed to yourselves - that ye go not up into the mountain, nor touch the boundary thereof, whosoever toucheth the mountain, shall, surely die. No hand shall touch it but he shall be, surely stoned, or be, surely shot, whether beast or man, he shall not live, - When the rams horn soundeth, they themselves, shall come up within the mount, Then Moses went down out of the mount, unto the people, - and hallowed the people, and they washed their clothes. And he said unto the people, Be ready, by the third day, - do not approach a woman. And it came to pass on the third day, when the morning had come, that there were thunderings and lightnings, and a heavy cloud upon the mount, and the sound of a horn, loud exceedingly, - and all the people who were in the camp trembled. And Moses brought forth the people, to meet God out of the camp, - and they stationed themselves in the lower part of the mount, And Mount Sinai, smoked, all over, because Yahweh had come down thereon in fire, - and the smoke thereof went up as the smoke of a furnace, and all the mountain trembled exceedingly. And as oft as the sound of the horn went on and became exceeding loud, Moses, spake and, God, responded to him with a voice. Thus came Yahweh down upon Mount Sinai unto the top of the mount, - and Yahweh called Moses unto the top of the mount, and Moses went up. Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Go dawn adjure the people, - lest they press through unto Yahweh to see, and so there fall from among them a multitude. Yea, even the priests who do approach unto Yahweh, must hallow themselves, - lest Yahweh break in upon them. And Moses said unto Yahweh, The people cannot come up into Mount Sinai, - for, thou thyself, hast adjured us saying: Set bounds to the mountain and hallow it. And Yahweh said unto him - Away, down, then shalt thou come up, thou and Aaron with thee, - but as for the priests and the people, let it not be that they press through to come up unto Yahweh lest he break in upon them. So Moses went down unto the people, - and said these things unto them.
But, ye, shall be mine, As a kingdom of priests, And a holy nation. These, are the words, which thou shalt speak unto the sons of Israel. Then came Moses, and called for the elders of the people, - and put before them all these words which Yahweh had commanded him. And all the people responded together and said, All that Yahweh hath spoken, will we do. And Moses took back the words of the people, unto Yahweh. Then said Yahweh unto Moses: Lo! I, am coming unto thee in the veiling of cloud, in order that the people may hear when I speak with thee, moreover also, that, in thee, they may trust to times age-abiding. Then told Moses the words of the people unto Yahweh. And Yahweh said unto Moses - Go unto the people, and thou shalt hallow them to-day, and to-morrow, - and they shall wash their clothes; and shall be ready, by the third day, - for on the third day, will Yahweh come down in the sight of all the people upon Mount Sinai. So then thou shalt set bounds for the people round about saying, Take heed to yourselves - that ye go not up into the mountain, nor touch the boundary thereof, whosoever toucheth the mountain, shall, surely die. No hand shall touch it but he shall be, surely stoned, or be, surely shot, whether beast or man, he shall not live, - When the rams horn soundeth, they themselves, shall come up within the mount, Then Moses went down out of the mount, unto the people, - and hallowed the people, and they washed their clothes. And he said unto the people, Be ready, by the third day, - do not approach a woman. And it came to pass on the third day, when the morning had come, that there were thunderings and lightnings, and a heavy cloud upon the mount, and the sound of a horn, loud exceedingly, - and all the people who were in the camp trembled. And Moses brought forth the people, to meet God out of the camp, - and they stationed themselves in the lower part of the mount, And Mount Sinai, smoked, all over, because Yahweh had come down thereon in fire, - and the smoke thereof went up as the smoke of a furnace, and all the mountain trembled exceedingly. And as oft as the sound of the horn went on and became exceeding loud, Moses, spake and, God, responded to him with a voice. Thus came Yahweh down upon Mount Sinai unto the top of the mount, - and Yahweh called Moses unto the top of the mount, and Moses went up. Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Go dawn adjure the people, - lest they press through unto Yahweh to see, and so there fall from among them a multitude. Yea, even the priests who do approach unto Yahweh, must hallow themselves, - lest Yahweh break in upon them. And Moses said unto Yahweh, The people cannot come up into Mount Sinai, - for, thou thyself, hast adjured us saying: Set bounds to the mountain and hallow it. And Yahweh said unto him - Away, down, then shalt thou come up, thou and Aaron with thee, - but as for the priests and the people, let it not be that they press through to come up unto Yahweh lest he break in upon them. So Moses went down unto the people, - and said these things unto them.
Then said Yahweh unto Moses - Come thou up unto me in the mountain and remain thou there, - for I must give thee tables of stone and the law and the commandment, which I have written to direct them. And Moses rose up, and Joshua his attendant, and Moses went up into the mountain of God; but, unto the elders, he said - Tarry for us here, until we return unto you. And lo! Aaron and Hur, are with you, he that hath a cause, let him draw near unto them. read more.
So then Moses wont up into the mountain, - and the cloud covered the mountain. And the glory of Yahweh rested upon Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days, - then called he unto Moses on the seventh day, out of the midst of the cloud. And the appearance of the glory of Yahweh was like a consuming fire h on the top of the mountain, - in the sight of the sons of Israel. And Moses entered into the midst of the cloud and ascended into the mountain. And it came to pass that Moses was in the mountain forty days and forty nights.

Now as for, the tables, the work of God, they were, - and, as for the writing, the writing of God, it was, graven upon the tables.
and be thou ready by the morning, - and thou shalt come up. in the morning, into Mount Sinai; then shalt thou station thyself for me there upon the top of the mount; and, no man, may come up with thee, and let no man so much as be seen in all the mount, - and let not even the flocks or the herds, feed in front of that mountain. So he hewed two tables of stone like the first and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up into Mount Sinai, as Yahweh had commanded him, - and took in his hand two tables of stone.
And Yahweh spake unto Moses in Mount Sinai, saying -
These are the commandments which Yahweh commanded Moses for the sons of Israel, - in Mount Sinai.
Now, these, were the pedigrees of Aaron and Moses, - in the day when Yahweh spake with Moses in Mount Sinai.
For who is there of all flesh, that ever heard the voice of a Living God speaking out of the midst of fire as we, and yet lived?
Tables » Of testimony » Were broken
So I seized the two tables, and cast them from off my two hands, - and brake them in pieces before your eyes.
Then declared he unto you his covenant which he commanded you to do, the ten words, - and wrote them upon two tables of stone.
Then said Yahweh unto Moses - Come thou up unto me in the mountain and remain thou there, - for I must give thee tables of stone and the law and the commandment, which I have written to direct them.
Then gave he unto Moses, as he finished speaking with him in Mount Sinai, the two tables of the testimony, - tables of stone, written with the finger of God,
When I went up into the mountain to receive the tables of stone - the tables of the covenant, which Yahweh had solemnised with you, then abode I in the mountain forty days and forty nights, food, did I not, eat, and water, did I not drink. Then did Yahweh deliver unto me the two tables of stone, written with the finger of God, - and there was upon them, according to all the words which Yahweh had spoken with you in the mountain out of the midst of the fire in the day of the convocation. So then it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that Yahweh gave unto me the two tables of stone the tables of the covenant.
And Moses turned and went down out of the mount, with the two tables of testimony in his hand, - tables written upon on both sides of them, on this and on that, were they written. Now as for, the tables, the work of God, they were, - and, as for the writing, the writing of God, it was, graven upon the tables. And Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, - so he said unto Moses - The noise of war, in the camp! read more.
But he said - Not the noise of the cry of heroism, nor yet the noise of the cry of defeat, - the noise of alternate song, do I hear. And it came to pass when he drew near unto the camp, and saw the calf, and the dancings, that the anger of Moses kindled, and he cast out of his hands the tables, and brake them in pieces at the foot of the mountain.
