Exod.32.1
And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
Exod.32.1
When the people realized that Moses was taking forever in coming down off the mountain, they rallied around Aaron and said, "Do something. Make gods for us who will lead us. That Moses, the man who got us out of Egypt--who knows what's happened to him?"
Exod.32.1
When the people saw that Moses was so long in coming down from the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said, "Come, make us gods who will go before us. As for this fellow Moses who brought us up out of Egypt, we don't know what has happened to him."
Exod.32.1
Now when the people saw that Moses delayed coming down from the mountain, the people gathered together to Aaron, and said to him, "Come, make us gods that shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him."
Exod.32.1
When Moses failed to come back down the mountain right away, the people went to Aaron. "Look," they said, "make us some gods who can lead us. This man Moses, who brought us here from Egypt, has disappeared. We don't know what has happened to him."
Exod.32.2
And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.
Exod.32.2
So Aaron told them, "Take off the gold rings from the ears of your wives and sons and daughters and bring them to me."
Exod.32.2
Aaron answered them, "Take off the gold earrings that your wives, your sons and your daughters are wearing, and bring them to me."
Exod.32.2
And Aaron said to them, "Break off the golden earrings which are in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to me."
Exod.32.2
So Aaron said, "Tell your wives and sons and daughters to take off their gold earrings, and then bring them to me."
Exod.32.3
And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
Exod.32.3
They all did it; they removed the gold rings from their ears and brought them to Aaron.
Exod.32.3
So all the people took off their earrings and brought them to Aaron.
Exod.32.3
So all the people broke off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron.
Exod.32.3
All the people obeyed Aaron and brought him their gold earrings.
Exod.32.4
And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
Exod.32.4
He took the gold from their hands and cast it in the form of a calf, shaping it with an engraving tool. The people responded with enthusiasm: "These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up from Egypt!"
Exod.32.4
He took what they handed him and made it into an idol cast in the shape of a calf, fashioning it with a tool. Then they said, "These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt."
Exod.32.4
And he received the gold from their hand, and he fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made a molded calf. Then they said, "This is your god, O Israel, that brought you out of the land of Egypt!"
Exod.32.4
Then Aaron took the gold, melted it down, and molded and tooled it into the shape of a calf. The people exclaimed, "O Israel, these are the gods who brought you out of Egypt!"
Exod.32.5
And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD.
Exod.32.5
Aaron, taking in the situation, built an altar before the calf. Aaron then announced, "Tomorrow is a feast day to GOD!"
Exod.32.5
When Aaron saw this, he built an altar in front of the calf and announced, "Tomorrow there will be a festival to the LORD."
Exod.32.5
So when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it. And Aaron made a proclamation and said, "Tomorrow is a feast to the LORD."
Exod.32.5
When Aaron saw how excited the people were about it, he built an altar in front of the calf and announced, "Tomorrow there will be a festival to the LORD!"
Exod.32.6
And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.
Exod.32.6
Early the next morning, the people got up and offered Whole-Burnt-Offerings and brought Peace-Offerings. The people sat down to eat and drink and then began to party. It turned into a wild party!
Exod.32.6
So the next day the people rose early and sacrificed burnt offerings and presented fellowship offerings. Afterward they sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.
Exod.32.6
Then they rose early on the next day, offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
Exod.32.6
So the people got up early the next morning to sacrifice burnt offerings and peace offerings. After this, they celebrated with feasting and drinking, and indulged themselves in pagan revelry.
Exod.32.7
And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:
Exod.32.7
GOD spoke to Moses, "Go! Get down there! Your people whom you brought up from the land of Egypt have fallen to pieces.
Exod.32.7
Then the LORD said to Moses, "Go down, because your people, whom you brought up out of Egypt, have become corrupt.
Exod.32.7
And the LORD said to Moses, "Go, get down! For your people whom you brought out of the land of Egypt have corrupted themselves.
Exod.32.7
Then the LORD told Moses, "Quick! Go down the mountain! The people you brought from Egypt have defiled themselves.
Exod.32.8
They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
Exod.32.8
In no time at all they've turned away from the way I commanded them: They made a molten calf and worshiped it. They've sacrificed to it and said, "These are the gods, O Israel, that brought you up from the land of Egypt!'"
Exod.32.8
They have been quick to turn away from what I commanded them and have made themselves an idol cast in the shape of a calf. They have bowed down to it and sacrificed to it and have said, 'These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.'
Exod.32.8
They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them. They have made themselves a molded calf, and worshiped it and sacrificed to it, and said, "This is your god, O Israel, that brought you out of the land of Egypt!"'
Exod.32.8
They have already turned from the way I commanded them to live. They have made an idol shaped like a calf, and they have worshiped and sacrificed to it. They are saying, `These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you out of Egypt.'"
Exod.32.9
And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
Exod.32.9
GOD said to Moses, "I look at this people--oh! what a stubborn, hard-headed people!
Exod.32.9
"I have seen these people," the LORD said to Moses, "and they are a stiff-necked people.
Exod.32.9
And the LORD said to Moses, "I have seen this people, and indeed it is a stiff-necked people!
Exod.32.9
Then the LORD said, "I have seen how stubborn and rebellious these people are.
Exod.32.10
Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.
Exod.32.10
Let me alone now, give my anger free reign to burst into flames and incinerate them. But I'll make a great nation out of you."
Exod.32.10
Now leave me alone so that my anger may burn against them and that I may destroy them. Then I will make you into a great nation."
Exod.32.10
Now therefore, let Me alone, that My wrath may burn hot against them and I may consume them. And I will make of you a great nation."
Exod.32.10
Now leave me alone so my anger can blaze against them and destroy them all. Then I will make you, Moses, into a great nation instead of them."
Exod.32.11
And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand?
Exod.32.11
Moses tried to calm his GOD down. He said, "Why, GOD, would you lose your temper with your people? Why, you brought them out of Egypt in a tremendous demonstration of power and strength.
Exod.32.11
But Moses sought the favor of the LORD his God. "O LORD," he said, "why should your anger burn against your people, whom you brought out of Egypt with great power and a mighty hand?
Exod.32.11
Then Moses pleaded with the LORD his God, and said: "LORD, why does Your wrath burn hot against Your people whom You have brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?
Exod.32.11
But Moses pleaded with the LORD his God not to do it. "O LORD!" he exclaimed. "Why are you so angry with your own people whom you brought from the land of Egypt with such great power and mighty acts?
Exod.32.12
Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people.
Exod.32.12
Why let the Egyptians say, "He had it in for them--he brought them out so he could kill them in the mountains, wipe them right off the face of the Earth.' Stop your anger. Think twice about bringing evil against your people!
Exod.32.12
Why should the Egyptians say, 'It was with evil intent that he brought them out, to kill them in the mountains and to wipe them off the face of the earth'? Turn from your fierce anger; relent and do not bring disaster on your people.
Exod.32.12
Why should the Egyptians speak, and say, "He brought them out to harm them, to kill them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth'? Turn from Your fierce wrath, and relent from this harm to Your people.
Exod.32.12
The Egyptians will say, `God tricked them into coming to the mountains so he could kill them and wipe them from the face of the earth.' Turn away from your fierce anger. Change your mind about this terrible disaster you are planning against your people!
Exod.32.13
Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever.
Exod.32.13
Think of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants to whom you gave your word, telling them "I will give you many children, as many as the stars in the sky, and I'll give this land to your children as their land forever.'"
Exod.32.13
Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac and Israel, to whom you swore by your own self: 'I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and I will give your descendants all this land I promised them, and it will be their inheritance forever.'"
Exod.32.13
Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Your servants, to whom You swore by Your own self, and said to them, "I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven; and all this land that I have spoken of I give to your descendants, and they shall inherit it forever."'
Exod.32.13
Remember your covenant with your servants--Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. You swore by your own self, `I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars of heaven. Yes, I will give them all of this land that I have promised to your descendants, and they will possess it forever.'"
Exod.32.14
And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.
Exod.32.14
And GOD did think twice. He decided not to do the evil he had threatened against his people.
Exod.32.14
Then the LORD relented and did not bring on his people the disaster he had threatened.
Exod.32.14
So the LORD relented from the harm which He said He would do to His people.
Exod.32.14
So the LORD withdrew his threat and didn't bring against his people the disaster he had threatened.
Exod.32.15
And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand: the tables were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written.
Exod.32.15
Moses turned around and came down from the mountain, carrying the two tablets of The Testimony. The tablets were written on both sides, front and back.
Exod.32.15
Moses turned and went down the mountain with the two tablets of the Testimony in his hands. They were inscribed on both sides, front and back.
Exod.32.15
And Moses turned and went down from the mountain, and the two tablets of the Testimony were in his hand. The tablets were written on both sides; on the one side and on the other they were written.
Exod.32.15
Then Moses turned and went down the mountain. He held in his hands the two stone tablets inscribed with the terms of the covenant. They were inscribed on both sides, front and back.
Exod.32.16
And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables.
Exod.32.16
God made the tablets and God wrote the tablets--engraved them.
Exod.32.16
The tablets were the work of God; the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tablets.
Exod.32.16
Now the tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God engraved on the tablets.
Exod.32.16
These stone tablets were God's work; the words on them were written by God himself.
Exod.32.17
And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp.
Exod.32.17
When Joshua heard the sound of the people shouting noisily, he said to Moses, "That's the sound of war in the camp!"
Exod.32.17
When Joshua heard the noise of the people shouting, he said to Moses, "There is the sound of war in the camp."
Exod.32.17
And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, "There is a noise of war in the camp."
Exod.32.17
When Joshua heard the noise of the people shouting below them, he exclaimed to Moses, "It sounds as if there is a war in the camp!"
Exod.32.18
And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome: but the noise of them that sing do I hear.
Exod.32.18
But Moses said, Those aren't songs of victory, And those aren't songs of defeat, I hear songs of people throwing a party.
Exod.32.18
Moses replied: "It is not the sound of victory, it is not the sound of defeat; it is the sound of singing that I hear."
Exod.32.18
But he said: "It is not the noise of the shout of victory, Nor the noise of the cry of defeat, But the sound of singing I hear."
Exod.32.18
But Moses replied, "No, it's neither a cry of victory nor a cry of defeat. It is the sound of a celebration."
Exod.32.19
And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount.
Exod.32.19
And that's what it was. When Moses came near to the camp and saw the calf and the people dancing, his anger flared. He threw down the tablets and smashed them to pieces at the foot of the mountain.
Exod.32.19
When Moses approached the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, his anger burned and he threw the tablets out of his hands, breaking them to pieces at the foot of the mountain.
Exod.32.19
So it was, as soon as he came near the camp, that he saw the calf and the dancing. So Moses' anger became hot, and he cast the tablets out of his hands and broke them at the foot of the mountain.
Exod.32.19
When they came near the camp, Moses saw the calf and the dancing. In terrible anger, he threw the stone tablets to the ground, smashing them at the foot of the mountain.
Exod.32.20
And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.
Exod.32.20
He took the calf that they had made, melted it down with fire, pulverized it to powder, then scattered it on the water and made the Israelites drink it.
Exod.32.20
And he took the calf they had made and burned it in the fire; then he ground it to powder, scattered it on the water and made the Israelites drink it.
Exod.32.20
Then he took the calf which they had made, burned it in the fire, and ground it to powder; and he scattered it on the water and made the children of Israel drink it.
Exod.32.20
He took the calf they had made and melted it in the fire. And when the metal had cooled, he ground it into powder and mixed it with water. Then he made the people drink it.
Exod.32.21
And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?
Exod.32.21
Moses said to Aaron, "What on Earth did these people ever do to you that you involved them in this huge sin?"
Exod.32.21
He said to Aaron, "What did these people do to you, that you led them into such great sin?"
Exod.32.21
And Moses said to Aaron, "What did this people do to you that you have brought so great a sin upon them?"
Exod.32.21
After that, he turned to Aaron. "What did the people do to you?" he demanded. "How did they ever make you bring such terrible sin upon them?"
Exod.32.22
And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they are set on mischief.
Exod.32.22
Aaron said, "Master, don't be angry. You know this people and how set on evil they are.
Exod.32.22
"Do not be angry, my lord," Aaron answered. "You know how prone these people are to evil.
Exod.32.22
So Aaron said, "Do not let the anger of my lord become hot. You know the people, that they are set on evil.
Exod.32.22
"Don't get upset, sir," Aaron replied. "You yourself know these people and what a wicked bunch they are.
Exod.32.23
For they said unto me, Make us gods, which shall go before us: for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
Exod.32.23
They said to me, "Make us gods who will lead us. This Moses, the man who brought us out of Egypt, we don't know what's happened to him.'
Exod.32.23
They said to me, 'Make us gods who will go before us. As for this fellow Moses who brought us up out of Egypt, we don't know what has happened to him.'
Exod.32.23
For they said to me, "Make us gods that shall go before us; as for this Moses, the man who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.'
Exod.32.23
They said to me, `Make us some gods to lead us, for something has happened to this man Moses, who led us out of Egypt.'
Exod.32.24
And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.
Exod.32.24
"So I said, "Who has gold?' And they took off their jewelry and gave it to me. I threw it in the fire and out came this calf."
Exod.32.24
So I told them, 'Whoever has any gold jewelry, take it off.' Then they gave me the gold, and I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf!"
Exod.32.24
And I said to them, "Whoever has any gold, let them break it off.' So they gave it to me, and I cast it into the fire, and this calf came out."
Exod.32.24
So I told them, `Bring me your gold earrings.' When they brought them to me, I threw them into the fire--and out came this calf!"
Exod.32.25
And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame among their enemies:)
Exod.32.25
Moses saw that the people were simply running wild--Aaron had let them run wild, disgracing themselves before their enemies.
Exod.32.25
Moses saw that the people were running wild and that Aaron had let them get out of control and so become a laughingstock to their enemies.
Exod.32.25
Now when Moses saw that the people were unrestrained (for Aaron had not restrained them, to their shame among their enemies),
Exod.32.25
When Moses saw that Aaron had let the people get completely out of control--and much to the amusement of their enemies--
Exod.32.26
Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the LORD'S side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him.
Exod.32.26
He took up a position at the entrance to the camp and said, "Whoever is on GOD's side, join me!" All the Levites stepped up.
Exod.32.26
So he stood at the entrance to the camp and said, "Whoever is for the LORD, come to me." And all the Levites rallied to him.
Exod.32.26
then Moses stood in the entrance of the camp, and said, "Whoever is on the LORD's side--come to me!" And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him.
Exod.32.26
he stood at the entrance to the camp and shouted, "All of you who are on the LORD's side, come over here and join me." And all the Levites came.
Exod.32.27
And he said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour.
Exod.32.27
He then told them, "GOD's orders, the God of Israel: "Strap on your swords and go to work. Crisscross the camp from one end to the other: Kill brother, friend, neighbor.'"
Exod.32.27
Then he said to them, "This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'Each man strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbor.'"
Exod.32.27
And he said to them, "Thus says the LORD God of Israel: "Let every man put his sword on his side, and go in and out from entrance to entrance throughout the camp, and let every man kill his brother, every man his companion, and every man his neighbor."'
Exod.32.27
He told them, "This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: Strap on your swords! Go back and forth from one end of the camp to the other, killing even your brothers, friends, and neighbors."
Exod.32.28
And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.
Exod.32.28
The Levites carried out Moses' orders. Three thousand of the people were killed that day.
Exod.32.28
The Levites did as Moses commanded, and that day about three thousand of the people died.
Exod.32.28
So the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses. And about three thousand men of the people fell that day.
Exod.32.28
The Levites obeyed Moses, and about three thousand people died that day.
Exod.32.29
For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves to day to the LORD, even every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.
Exod.32.29
Moses said, "You confirmed your ordination today--and at great cost, even killing your sons and brothers! And God has blessed you."
Exod.32.29
Then Moses said, "You have been set apart to the LORD today, for you were against your own sons and brothers, and he has blessed you this day."
Exod.32.29
Then Moses said, "Consecrate yourselves today to the LORD, that He may bestow on you a blessing this day, for every man has opposed his son and his brother."
Exod.32.29
Then Moses told the Levites, "Today you have been ordained for the service of the LORD, for you obeyed him even though it meant killing your own sons and brothers. Because of this, he will now give you a great blessing."
Exod.32.30
And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto the LORD; peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin.
Exod.32.30
The next day Moses addressed the people: "You have sinned an enormous sin! But I am going to go up to GOD; maybe I'll be able to clear you of your sin."
Exod.32.30
The next day Moses said to the people, "You have committed a great sin. But now I will go up to the LORD; perhaps I can make atonement for your sin."
Exod.32.30
Now it came to pass on the next day that Moses said to the people, "You have committed a great sin. So now I will go up to the LORD; perhaps I can make atonement for your sin."
Exod.32.30
The next day Moses said to the people, "You have committed a terrible sin, but I will return to the LORD on the mountain. Perhaps I will be able to obtain forgiveness for you."
Exod.32.31
And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.
Exod.32.31
Moses went back to GOD and said, "This is terrible. This people has sinned--it's an enormous sin! They made gods of gold for themselves.
Exod.32.31
So Moses went back to the LORD and said, "Oh, what a great sin these people have committed! They have made themselves gods of gold.
Exod.32.31
Then Moses returned to the LORD and said, "Oh, these people have committed a great sin, and have made for themselves a god of gold!
Exod.32.31
So Moses returned to the LORD and said, "Alas, these people have committed a terrible sin. They have made gods of gold for themselves.
Exod.32.32
Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.
Exod.32.32
And now, if you will only forgive their sin.... But if not, erase me out of the book you've written."
Exod.32.32
But now, please forgive their sin-but if not, then blot me out of the book you have written."
Exod.32.32
Yet now, if You will forgive their sin--but if not, I pray, blot me out of Your book which You have written."
Exod.32.32
But now, please forgive their sin--and if not, then blot me out of the record you are keeping."
Exod.32.33
And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.
Exod.32.33
GOD said to Moses, "I'll only erase from my book those who sin against me.
Exod.32.33
The LORD replied to Moses, "Whoever has sinned against me I will blot out of my book.
Exod.32.33
And the LORD said to Moses, "Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My book.
Exod.32.33
The LORD replied to Moses, "I will blot out whoever has sinned against me.
Exod.32.34
Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee: nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them.
Exod.32.34
For right now, you go and lead the people to where I told you. Look, my Angel is going ahead of you. On the day, though, when I settle accounts, their sins will certainly be part of the settlement."
Exod.32.34
Now go, lead the people to the place I spoke of, and my angel will go before you. However, when the time comes for me to punish, I will punish them for their sin."
Exod.32.34
Now therefore, go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to you. Behold, My Angel shall go before you. Nevertheless, in the day when I visit for punishment, I will visit punishment upon them for their sin."
Exod.32.34
Now go, lead the people to the place I told you about. Look! My angel will lead the way before you! But when I call the people to account, I will certainly punish them for their sins."
Exod.32.35
And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.
Exod.32.35
GOD sent a plague on the people because of the calf they and Aaron had made. [JC]
Exod.32.35
And the LORD struck the people with a plague because of what they did with the calf Aaron had made.
Exod.32.35
So the LORD plagued the people because of what they did with the calf which Aaron made.
Exod.32.35
And the LORD sent a great plague upon the people because they had worshiped the calf Aaron had made.
