Psalms 106:19-23

19 They made an image of a calf at Horeb,
and worshiped a metal idol.
20 They traded their majestic God ^{▼▼ Heb “their glory.” According to an ancient Hebrew scribal tradition, the text originally read “his glory” or “my glory.” In Jer 2:11 the Lord states that his people (Israel) exchanged “their glory” (a reference to the Lord) for worthless idols.}
for the image of an ox that eats grass.
21 They rejected ^{▼▼ Heb “forgot.”} the God who delivered them,
the one who performed great deeds in Egypt,
22 amazing feats in the land of Ham,
mighty ^{▼▼ Or “awe-inspiring.”} acts by the Red Sea.
23 He threatened ^{▼▼ Heb “and he said.”} to destroy them,
but ^{▼▼ Heb “if not,” that is, “[and would have] if [Moses] had not.”} Moses, his chosen one, interceded with him ^{▼▼ Heb “stood in the gap before him.”}
and turned back his destructive anger. ^{▼▼ Heb “to turn back his anger from destroying.”} ^{▼▼ Verses 19–23 describe the events of Exod 32:1–35.}
