² Aaron said to them, “^(A)Tear off the gold rings which are in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to me.”

⁴ He took this from their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool and made it into a ^(A)molten calf; and they said, “^[a]This is your god, O Israel, who brought you up from the land of Egypt.”

³ He then returned the eleven hundred pieces of silver to his mother, and his mother said, “I wholly dedicate the silver from my hand to the Lord for my son ^(A)to make a graven image and a molten image; now therefore, I will return ^[a]them to you.” ⁴ So when he returned the silver to his mother, his mother took two hundred pieces of silver and gave them to the silversmith who made ^[b]them into a graven image and a molten image, and ^[c]they were in the house of Micah.
