And Moses said, It is not the voice of men who are overcoming in the fight, or the cry of those who have been overcome; it is the sound of songs which comes to my ear.

And when he came near the tents he saw the image of the ox, and the people dancing; and in his wrath Moses let the stones go from his hands, and they were broken at the foot of the mountain.

And Aaron said, Let not my lord be angry; you have seen how the purposes of this people are evil.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

For they said to me, Make us a god to go before us: as for this Moses, who took us up out of the land of Egypt, we have no idea what has come to him.

Then I said to them, Whoever has any gold, let him take it off; so they gave it to me, and I put it in the fire, and this image of an ox came out.

And on the day after, Moses said to the people, Great has been your sin: but I will go up to the Lord, and see if I may get forgiveness for your sin.

וַיְהִי֙ (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

וַיְדַבֵּ֨ר (וַ) va “and”

And I will send an angel before you, driving out the Canaanite and the Amorite and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite:

וְשָׁלַחְתִּ֥י (וְ) ve. “and”וְגֵֽרַשְׁתִּ֗י (וְ) ve. “and”

Hearing this bad news the people were full of grief, and no one put on his ornaments.

וַיִּשְׁמַ֣ע (וַ) va “and”וַיִּתְאַבָּ֑לוּ (וַ) va “and”

And the Lord said to Moses, Say to the children of Israel, You are a stiff-necked people: if I come among you, even for a minute, I will send destruction on you; so take off all your ornaments, so that I may see what to do with you.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וְכִלִּיתִ֑יךָ (וְ) ve. “and”

So the children of Israel took off their ornaments at Mount Horeb, and did not put them on again.
