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.

10401. 'And Aaron said to them' means the outward features of the Word, the Church, and worship, devoid of the inward. This is clear from the representation here of 'Aaron' as the outward features of the Word, the Church, and worship, devoid of the inward, dealt with above in 10397. The fact that no Church existed among the Israelite and Jewish nation, only what was representative of a Church, thus an outward form devoid of the inward substance, is perfectly clear from Aaron, who, though a typical member of that nation, was nevertheless made the high priest, to whom the most sacred things of the Church were entrusted, and who was therefore considered to be holier than everyone else. For it is said of him that he made the golden calf, built an altar for it, made a proclamation that there was to be 'a feast to Jehovah' for it, brought that sin upon the people, and caused them to become undisciplined, in verses 2, 4-5, 21, 25, 35; and elsewhere that Jehovah was greatly moved with anger against Aaron and would have destroyed him, and that Moses prayed for him, Deuteronomy 9:20. These words imply that Aaron was like the people, who were idolatrous at heart, 4208, 4281, 4820, 5998, 6877, 7401, 8301, 8882. But since only the outward form of a Church devoid of its inward substance existed with that nation, and yet by means of it there was contact with heaven, it did not matter what a person there was like, provided that when engaged in external observances he obeyed what had been decreed and revered it.

In the case of representatives no attention is paid to the person, only to the reality represented by that person, see 665, 1097(end), 3670, 4208, 4281, 4288, 4444, 8588.

4208. 'And Jacob swore by the Dread of his father Isaac' means confirmation from the Divine Human, which in that state is called 'the Dread'. This is clear from the meaning of 'swearing' as confirmation, dealt with in 2842, 3375; and from the meaning of 'the Dread of Isaac' as the Lord's Divine Human, dealt with in 4180. The fact that when people swore oaths they did so by the Lord's Divine Human, see 2842.

[2] The reason for the use here of the expressions 'the God of Abraham, the God of Nahor, the God of their father (who was Terah)' and 'the Dread of Isaac, Jacob's father' is that Terah's sons acknowledged just so many gods, for they were idolaters, 1353, 1356, 1992, 3667. It was also a peculiar feature of that house that each family worshipped its own individual god. This is why at this point the expressions 'the God of Abraham', 'the God of Nahor', 'the God of their father', and 'the Dread of Isaac' are used. Abraham's family however was commanded to acknowledge Jehovah as its God. All the same, they did not acknowledge Him to be anything more than just another god by whom they could distinguish themselves from the gentiles, and so only His name was different. This also accounts for their defection on so many occasions to other gods, as is made clear in the historical sections of the Word. The reason why they defected was that they were interested solely in things of an external nature. What things of an internal nature were they did not know at all and did not wish to know.

[3] So far as those people's participation in them was concerned, the religious practices of their Church were wholly idolatrous because they had been separated from the things of an internal nature; for every religious practice of the Church when separated from what is internal is idolatrous. Yet it was still possible for those people to represent the genuine condition of the Church since representations have nothing to do with the person who represents, only with the thing represented, 665, 1097 (end), 1361, 3147. But in order that a representative Church might come into being, and in this way some kind of communication between the Lord and man through heaven might exist, it was particularly necessary for them to be kept in their acknowledgement of Jehovah, if not in their hearts yet with their lips. For among them representatives were not an expression of internal entities but of external ones. And this was the kind of communication they had, different from that in the genuine Church in which communication was effected through things of an internal nature. For this reason also their Divine worship made no difference to their souls, that is, it did not yield them blessings in the next life, only prosperity in the world.

[4] In order that they might be kept in external things so many miracles were therefore performed among them which would never have taken place if things of an internal nature had had a place among them. For the same reason they were also compelled on many occasions to worship Jehovah through the imposition of punishments, captivities, and threats, though no one is compelled by the Lord to engage in internal worship, for this is implanted only in a state of freedom, 1937, 1947, 2874-2881, 3145, 3146, 3158, 4031. The chief external practice required of them was that they should confess the name Jehovah, for Jehovah was the Lord who was represented in all the practices of that Church. On the point that Jehovah was the Lord, see 1343, 1736, 2921, 3035.
