Acts 7:39-41

EasyEnglish Bible

³⁹ But our ancestors would not obey Moses. They did not accept him as their leader. They wanted to go back to Egypt. ⁴⁰ So the people said to Aaron, “Please make us some gods that we can carry in front of us. Yes, that man Moses brought us out of Egypt. But now we do not know what has happened to him.”^[a]

⁴¹ It was then that the people made something that would be an idol for them. They made it from gold with the shape of a young bull. They killed some animals and they burned them as a gift for their idol. The people then had a big meal together because they were very happy. They thought that they had made something that was very good.^[b]
