20And he took the ox which they had made, burning it in the fire and crushing it to powder, and he put it in the water and made the children of Israel take a drink of it.
21And Moses said to Aaron, What did the people do to you that you let this great sin come on them?
22And Aaron said, Let not my lord be angry; you have seen how the purposes of this people are evil.
23For they said to me, Make us a god to go before us: as for this Moses, who took us up out of the land of Egypt, we have no idea what has come to him.
24Then I said to them, Whoever has any gold, let him take it off; so they gave it to me, and I put it in the fire, and this image of an ox came out.
25And Moses saw that the people were out of control, for Aaron had let them loose to their shame before their haters:
26Then Moses took his place at the way into the tents, and said, Whoever is on the Lord's side, let him come to me. And all the sons of Levi came together to him.
