Thematic Bible: Worshipping the true God by an image, &c

He took them from them and, using a tool, fashioned them into a molten calf. The people said, "This, Israel, is your god who brought you out of the land of Egypt." When Aaron saw this, he built an altar in front of it, and then he proclaimed, "Tomorrow is to be a festival to the LORD." They got up early the next day and offered burnt offerings and brought peace offerings. Then the people sat down to eat and drink, and then they got up to play.

They fashioned a calf at Horeb and worshipped a carved image. They exchanged their glory with the image of a grass-eating bull.
