Calf of gold » Worshipped with profane revelry
They rose up early on the next day, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.
When Moses saw that the people had broken loose, (for Aaron had let them loose for a derision among their enemies),
Neither be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play."
He said, "It isn't the voice of those who shout for victory, neither is it the voice of those who cry for being overcome; but the noise of those who sing that I hear." It happened, as soon as he came near to the camp, that he saw the calf and the dancing: and Moses' anger grew hot, and he threw the tablets out of his hands, and broke them beneath the mountain.
