Exodus 32:22-24

22 And Aaron said, “Let not the anger of my lord burn hot. ^aYou know the people, that they are set on evil. 23 For ^bthey said to me, ‘Make us gods who shall go before us. As for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.’ 24 So ^cI said to them, ‘Let any who have gold take it off.’ So they gave it to me, and I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf.”
