- "And he receivedª° [them] at their hand,ª¹ and fashionedª° it with a graving tool,ª after he had madeª° it a moltenª calf:ª and they said,ª° These¹ [be] thy gods,ª O Israel,ª which¹ brought²° thee up¹ out of the landª¹ of Egypt.ª ... They have turned²° aside¹ quicklyª out of¹ the wayª which¹ I commandedª° them: they have madeª° them a moltenª calf,ª and have worshippedª° it, and have sacrificedª° thereunto, and said,ª° These¹ [be] thy gods,ª O Israel,ª which¹ have brought thee upª° out of the landª¹ of Egypt.ª" {Exd 32:4-8} + "And Mosesª returnedª° unto¹ the LORD,ª and said,ª° Oh,ª this¹ peopleª have sinnedª° a greatª sin,ª and have madeª° them godsª of gold.ª" {Exd 32:31} + "Whereupon the kingª took counsel,ª° and madeª° twoª calvesª [of] gold,ª and saidª° unto¹ them, It is too muchª for you to go upª°¹ to Jerusalem:ª behold¹ thy gods,ª O Israel,ª which¹ brought¹ thee up²° out of the landª¹ of Egypt.ª" {1Kg 12:28} + "But hast doneª° evilª° above all¹¹ that¹ were¹ beforeª thee: for thou hast gone²°¹ and madeª° thee otherª gods,ª and molten images,ª to provoke me to anger,ª° and hast castª° me behindª thy back:ª" {1Kg 14:9} + "They madeª° a calfª in Horeb,ª and worshippedª° the molten image.ª ...
