1 A narod videvši gde Mojsije za dugo ne silazi s gore, skupi se narod pred Arona, i rekoše mu: Hajde, načini nam bogove, koji će ići pred nama, jer tom Mojsiju koji nas izvede iz zemlje misirske ne znamo šta bi.

2 A Aron im reče: Poskidajte zlatne oboce što su u ušima žena vaših, sinova vaših i kćeri vaših, i donesite mi.

3 I poskida sav narod zlatne oboce što im behu u ušima, i donesoše Aronu.

4 A on uzevši iz ruku njihovih, sali u kalup, i načini tele saliveno. I rekoše: Ovo su bogovi tvoji, Izrailju, koji te izvedoše iz zemlje misirske.

5 A kad to vide Aron, načini oltar pred njim; i povika Aron, i reče: Sutra je praznik Gospodnji.

6 I sutradan ustavši rano prinesoše žrtve paljenice i žrtve zahvalne; i poseda narod, te jedoše i piše, a posle ustaše da igraju.

7 A Gospod reče Mojsiju: Idi, siđi, jer se pokvari tvoj narod, koji si izveo iz zemlje misirske.

8 Brzo zađoše s puta, koji sam im zapovedio; načiniše sebi tele liveno, i pokloniše mu se, i prinesoše mu žrtvu, i rekoše: Ovo su bogovi tvoji, Izrailju, koji te izvedoše iz zemlje misirske.

9 Još reče Gospod Mojsiju: Pogledah narod ovaj, i eto je narod tvrdog vrata.

10 I sada pusti me, da se raspali gnev moj na njih i da ih istrebim; ali od tebe ću učiniti narod velik.

11 A Mojsije se zamoli Gospodu Bogu svom, i reče: Zašto se, Gospode, raspaljuje gnev Tvoj na narod Tvoj, koji si izveo iz zemlje misirske silom velikom i rukom krepkom?

12 Zašto da govore Misirci i kažu: Na zlo ih izvede, da ih pobije po planinama i da ih istrebi sa zemlje? Povrati se od gneva svog, i požali narod svoj oda zla.

13 Opomeni se Avrama, Isaka i Izrailja, sluga svojih, kojima si se sobom zakleo i obrekao im: Umnožiću seme vaše kao zvezde na nebu, i zemlju ovu, za koju govorih, svu ću dati semenu vašem da je njihova doveka.

14 I ražali se Gospodu učiniti zlo narodu svom, koje reče.

15 Tada se vrati Mojsije, i siđe s gore sa dve ploče svedočanstva u rukama svojim; i ploče behu pisane s obe strane, otud i odovud pisane.

16 I behu ploče delo Božje, i pismo beše pismo Božje, urezano na pločama.

17 A Isus čuvši viku u narodu, kad vikahu, reče Mojsiju; vika ubojna u logoru.

18 A on reče: Nije to vika kako viču koji su jači, niti je vika kako viču koji su slabiji, nego čujem viku onih koji pevaju.

19 I kad dođe blizu logora, ugleda tele i igre, te se razgnevi Mojsije, i baci iz ruku svojih ploče, i razbi ih pod gorom.

20 Pa uze tele koje behu načinili i spali ga ognjem, i satre ga u prah, i prosu ga po vodi, i zapoji sinove Izrailjeve.

21 I reče Mojsije Aronu: Šta ti je učinio ovaj narod, te ga uvali u toliki greh?

22 A Aron mu reče: Nemoj se gneviti, gospodaru; ti znaš ovaj narod da je brz na zlo.

23 Jer rekoše mi: Načini nam bogove, koji će ići pred nama, jer tom Mojsiju koji nas izvede iz zemlje misirske ne znamo šta bi.

24 A ja im rekoh: Ko ima zlata, neka ga skida sa sebe. I dadoše mi, a ja ga bacih u vatru, i izađe to tele.

25 A Mojsije videći narod go, jer ga ogoli Aron na sramotu pred protivnicima njegovim,

26 Stade Mojsije na vrata od logora, i reče: K meni ko je Gospodnji. I skupiše se pred njega svi sinovi Levijevi.

27 I reče im: Ovako kaže Gospod Bog Izrailjev: Pripašite svaki svoj mač uz bedro svoje, pa prođite tamo i amo po logoru od vrata do vrata, i pobijte svaki brata svog i prijatelja svog i bližnjeg svog.

28 I učiniše sinovi Levijevi po zapovesti Mojsijevoj, i pogibe naroda u onaj dan do tri hiljade ljudi.

29 Jer Mojsije reče: Posvetite danas ruke svoje Gospodu, svak na sinu svom i na bratu svom, da bi vam dao danas blagoslov.

30 A sutradan reče Mojsije narodu: Vi ljuto sagrešiste; zato sada idem gore ka Gospodu, eda bih ga umolio da vam oprosti greh.

31 I vrati se Mojsije ka Gospodu, i reče: Molim Ti se; narod ovaj ljuto sagreši načinivši sebi bogove od zlata.

32 Ali oprosti im greh: Ako li nećeš, izbriši me iz knjige svoje, koju si napisao.

33 A Gospod reče Mojsiju: Ko mi je zgrešio, onog ću izbrisati iz knjige svoje.

34 A sada idi, vodi taj narod kuda sam ti kazao. Evo, moj će anđeo ići pred tobom, a kad ih pohodim, pohodiću na njima greh njihov.

35 I Gospod bi narod zato što načiniše tele, koje sali Aron.

1298. 'They had brick for stone' means that they had falsity in place of truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'brick' as falsity, dealt with just above, and also from the meaning of 'stone' in the broad sense as truth, dealt with already in 643. The reason 'stones' meant truth was that the most ancient people used to mark out boundaries by means of stones and raise up stones to testify that something was so, that is, was the truth. This is clear from the stone which Jacob set up as a pillar, Genesis 28:22; 35:14; from the pillar of stones placed between Laban and Jacob, Genesis 31:46-47, 52; and from the altar which the children of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh erected beside the Jordan as an altar of witness, Joshua 22:10, 28, 34. Consequently 'stones' in the Word means truths, so much so that not only the stones of the altar but also the precious stones in the shoulder-pieces of Aaron's ephod and in the breastplate of judgement meant the holy truths of love.

[2] Regarding the altar, when sacrificial worship on altars was introduced, an altar in that case meant representative worship of the Lord in general. 'The stones' themselves however meant the holy truths belonging to that worship. This was why it was commanded that the altar had to be built of whole and not of hewn stones, and why it was forbidden to use any iron tool on them, Deuteronomy 27:5-7; Joshua 8:31. The reason was that hewn stones, and those on which an iron tool had been used, meant artificialities and thus fabrications in worship. That is to say, they meant things that derive from the proprium, or from the inventions of man's own thought and heart, which was to profane worship, as is clearly stated in Exodus 20:25. For the same reason no tool of iron was used on the stones of the Temple, 1 Kings 6:7.

[3] That the precious stones set in the shoulder-pieces of Aaron's ephod and in the breastplate of judgement in a similar way meant holy truths has been shown already in 114. This is clear also in Isaiah,

Behold, I will set your stones in carbuncle and lay your foundations in sapphires; and I will make your suns (windows) of ruby, and your gates into precious stones, and all your border into pleasant stones And all your sons will be taught by Jehovah, and great will be the peace of your sons. Isaiah 54:11-13

The stones mentioned here stand for holy truths, and this is why it is said that 'all your sons will be taught by Jehovah'. It is also the reason why it is said in John that the foundations of the wall of the city, holy Jerusalem, were adorned with every kind of precious stone, which are each mentioned by name, Revelation 21:19-20. 'The holy Jerusalem' stands for the Lord's kingdom in heaven and on earth, the foundations of which kingdom are holy truths. Holy truths were similarly meant by the tables of stone on which the commandments of the Law, or Ten Commandments, were written. This was why they were made of stone or had a stone base, concerning which see Exodus 24:12; 31:18; 34:1; Deuteronomy 5:22; 10:1; for the commandments themselves are nothing else than truths of faith.

[4] Now because stones in ancient times meant truths, and because later on when worship on pillars, on altars, and in the Temple began, pillars, altars, and the Temple meant holy truths, the Lord also is therefore called 'a Stone': In Moses,

The Mighty One of Jacob - from there is the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel. Genesis 49:24.

In Isaiah,

The Lord Jehovih said, I am laying in Zion for a foundation a Stone, a tested Corner-Stone, precious, of sure foundation. Isaiah 28:16.

In David,

The Stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner Psalms 118:22.

The same is meant in Daniel 2:34-35, 45, by the stone cut out of the rock which smashed Nebuchadnezzar's statue to pieces.

[5] That 'stones' means truths is clear in Isaiah,

By this the iniquity of Jacob will be expiated, and this will be the full fruit to remove his sin, when He makes all the stones of the altar like chalk-stones scattered about. Isaiah 27:9.

'The stones of the altar' stands for truths in worship that have been dissipated. In the same prophet,

Make level the way of the people; level out, level out the highway; gather out the stones. Isaiah 62:10.

'The way' and 'the stones' stand for truths. In Jeremiah,

I am against you, O destroying mountain. I will roll you down from the rocks and I will make you into a mountain of burning. And they will not take from you a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations. Jeremiah 51:25-26.

This refers to Babel. 'A mountain of burning' is self-love. 'Taking no stone from it' means that there is no truth from this source.

114. The truth of faith was also meant and represented in the Word precious stones, for example, those in the breast plate of judgement, and upon the shoulder-pieces of Aaron's ephod. in the breastplate, the gold, blue, purple, double-dyed scarlet, and fine-twined linen represented matters of love, while the precious stones represented matters of faith deriving from love, as did the two stones of remembrance on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod which were made from shoham encompassed with settings of gold, Exodus 28:9-22. The same point, that the truth of faith is meant and represented by precious stones, is plainly stated in Ezekiel when the subject is the person who possesses the heavenly riches of wisdom and intelligence,

Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty, you were in Eden, the garden of God. Every precious stone was your covering ruby, topaz, diamond, tarshish, shoham, and jasper, sapphire, chrysoprase, and emerald. And gold, the work of your drums and of your pipes, was within you. On the day that you were created they were prepared. You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created. Ezekiel 28:12-13, 15.

Anyone may see that celestial and spiritual things of faith, and not just stones, are meant. Indeed each stone represented a particular essential element of faith.
