Exodus 32:29-31

21st Century King James Version

²⁹ For Moses had said, “Consecrate yourselves today to the Lord, even every man upon his son and upon his brother, that He may bestow upon you a blessing this day.”

³⁰ And it came to pass on the morrow that Moses said unto the people, “Ye have sinned a great sin. And now I will go up unto the Lord. Perhaps I shall make an atonement for your sin.”

³¹ And Moses returned unto the Lord and said, “Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made themselves gods of gold.
