Acts 7:39-41

The Voice

³⁹ But our ancestors still resisted. They again pushed Moses away and refused to follow him. In their hearts, they were ready to return to their former slavery in Egypt. ⁴⁰ While Moses was on the mountain communing with God, they begged Aaron to make idols to lead them. “We have no idea what happened to this fellow, Moses, who brought us from Egypt,”^[a] they said. ⁴¹ So they made a calf as their new god, and they even sacrificed to it and celebrated an object they had fabricated as if it was their God.
