Shemoth (Exodus) 32

Exod 31:1 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Exod 31:2 “See, I have called by name Betsal’ĕl son of Uri, son of Ḥur, of
the tribe of Yehuḏah,
Exod 31:3 and I have filled him with the Spirit of Elohim in wisdom, and in
understanding, and in knowledge, and in all work,
Exod 31:4 to make designs for work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze,
Exod 31:5 and in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, and to
work in all work.
Exod 31:6 “And I, look I have appointed with him Oholiaḇ son of Aḥisamaḵ,
of the tribe of Dan. And I have put wisdom in the hearts of everyone who is
wise-hearted, and they shall make all that I have commanded you:
Exod 31:7 the Tent of Meeting, and the ark of the Witness and the lid of
atonement that is on it, and all the utensils of the Tent,
Exod 31:8 and the table and its utensils, and the clean gold lampstand with
all its utensils, and the altar of incense,
Exod 31:9 and the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin
and its stand,
Exod 31:10 and the woven garments, and the set-apart garments for Aharon
the priest and the garments of his sons, for serving as priests,
Exod 31:11 and the anointing oil and sweet incense for the Set-apart Place.
According to all that I have commanded you, they are to do.”
Exod 31:12 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Exod 31:13 “And you, speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘My
Sabbaths you are to guard, by all means, for it is a sign between Me and you
throughout your generations, to know that I, יהוה, am setting you apart.
Exod 31:14 ‘And you shall guard the Sabbath, for it is set-apart to you.
Everyone who profanes it shall certainly be put to death, for anyone who
does work on it, that being shall be cut off from among his people.
Exod 31:15 ‘Six days work is done, and on the seventh is a Sabbath of rest,
set-apart to יהוה. Everyone doing work on the Sabbath day shall certainly be
put to death.
Exod 31:16 ‘And the children of Yisra’ĕl shall guard the Sabbath, to
observe the Sabbath throughout their generations as an everlasting covenant.
Exod 31:17 ‘Between Me and the children of Yisra’ĕl it is a sign forever.
For in six days יהוה made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day
He rested and was refreshed.’ ”
Exod 31:18 And when He had ended speaking with him on Mount Sinai, He
gave Mosheh two tablets of the Witness, tablets of stone, written with the
finger of Elohim.
Exod 32:1 And when the people saw that Mosheh was so long in coming
down from the mountain, the people gathered together to Aharon, and said to
him, “Arise, make us mighty ones who go before us. For this Mosheh, the
man who brought us up out of the land of Mitsrayim, we do not know what
has become of him.”
Exod 32:2 And Aharon said to them, “Take off the golden earrings which are
in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to
me.”
Exod 32:3 “And all the people took off the golden earrings which were in
their ears, and brought them to Aharon.
Exod 32:4 And he took this from their hand, and he formed it with an
engraving tool, and made a moulded calf. And they said, “This is your mighty
one, O Yisra’ĕl, that brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim!”
Exod 32:5 And Aharon saw and built an altar before it. And Aharon called
out and said, “Tomorrow is a festival to יהוה.”
Exod 32:6 And they rose early on the next day, and offered burnt offerings,
and brought peace offerings. And the people sat down to eat and drink, and
rose up to play.
Exod 32:7 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Go, get down! For your people whom
you brought out of the land of Mitsrayim have corrupted themselves.
Exod 32:8 “They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I
commanded them. They have made themselves a moulded calf, and have
bowed themselves to it and slaughtered to it, and said, ‘This is your mighty
one, O Yisra’ĕl, who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim!’ ”
Exod 32:9 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “I have seen this people, and see, it is a
stiff-necked people!
Exod 32:10 “And now, let Me alone, that My wrath might burn against them
and I consume them and I make of you a great nation.”
Exod 32:11 But Mosheh pleaded with יהוה his Elohim, and said, “ יהוה, why
does Your wrath burn against Your people whom You have brought out of the
land of Mitsrayim with great power and with a strong hand?
Exod 32:12 “Why should the Mitsrites speak, and say, ‘For evil He brought
them out to kill them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of
the earth’? Turn from the heat of Your wrath, and relent from this evil to Your
people.
Exod 32:13 “Remember Aḇraham, Yitsḥaq, and Yisra’ĕl, Your servants, to
whom You swore by Yourself, and said to them, ‘I increase your seed like the
stars of the heavens. And all this land that I have spoken of I give to your
seed, and they shall inherit it forever.’ ”
Exod 32:14 And יהוה relented from the evil which He said He would do to
His people.
Exod 32:15 And Mosheh turned and went down from the mountain, and in
his hand were the two tablets of the Witness, tablets written on both their
sides, written on the one and on the other.
Exod 32:16 And the tablets were the work of Elohim, and the writing was
the writing of Elohim engraved on the tablets.
Exod 32:17 And Yehoshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted and
he said to Mosheh, “A noise of battle in the camp!”
Exod 32:18 But he said, “It is not the sound of those who shout of might, nor
is it the sound of those who cry out in weakness, but the sound of singing that
I hear.”
Exod 32:19 And it came to be, as soon as he came near the camp, that he
saw the calf and the dancing. And Mosheh’s displeasure burned, and he
threw the tablets out of his hands and broke them at the foot of the mountain.
Exod 32:20 And he took the calf which they had made, and burned it in the
fire, and ground it into powder, and scattered it on the face of the water and
made the children of Yisra’ĕl drink it.
Exod 32:21 And Mosheh said to Aharon, “What did this people do to you
that you have brought so great a sin upon them?”
Exod 32:22 And Aharon said, “Do not let the displeasure of my master burn.
You know the people, that it is in evil.
Exod 32:23 “And they said to me, ‘Make us mighty ones who go before us.
For this Mosheh, the man who brought us out of the land of Mitsrayim, we do
not know what has become of him.’
Exod 32:24 “And I said to them, ‘Whoever has gold, let them take it off.’
And they gave it to me, and I threw it into the fire, and this calf came out.”
Exod 32:25 And Mosheh saw that the people were let loose, for Aharon had
let them loose, to their shame among their enemies.
Exod 32:26 And Mosheh stood in the entrance of the camp, and said, “Who
? יהוה is for Come to me.” And all the sons of Lĕwi gathered themselves to
him.
Exod 32:27 And he said to them, “Thus said יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl: ‘Each
one put his sword on his side, pass over to and fro from gate to gate in the
camp, and each one slay his brother, and each one his friend, and each one
his relative.’ ”
Exod 32:28 And the sons of Lĕwi did according to the word of Mosheh. And
about three thousand men of the people fell that day.
Exod 32:29 And Mosheh said, “You are ordained for יהוה today – since each
one has been against his son and his brother – so as to bring upon you a
blessing today.”
Exod 32:30 And it came to be on the next day that Mosheh said to the
people, “You, you have sinned a great sin. And now I am going up to  יהוה– if
I might atone for your sin.”
Exod 32:31 And Mosheh returned to יהוה and said, “Oh, these people have
sinned a great sin, and have made for themselves a mighty one of gold!
Exod 32:32 “And now, if You would forgive their sin, but if not, please blot
me out of Your book which You have written.”
Exod 32:33 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Whoever has sinned against Me, I
blot him out of My book.
Exod 32:34 “And now, go, lead the people to the place of which I have
spoken to you. See, My Messenger goes before you. And in the day of My
visitation I shall visit their sin upon them.”
Exod 32:35 And יהוה plagued the people because they made the calf, which
Aharon made.
