I-Eksodusi 32:1-5

Lapho abantu bebona ukuthi uMose usephuzile ukwehla entabeni, babuthana ku-Aroni, bathi kuye: “Woza, usenzele onkulunkulu abazohamba phambi kwethu, ngokuba lo Mose, umuntu owasikhipha eGibhithe, asazi ukuthi wehlelwe yini.” U-Aroni wathi kubo: “Khumulani amacici egolide asezindlebeni zomkenu, nakwezamadodana enu, nakwezamadodakazi enu, niwalethe kimi.” Bonke abantu bawakhumula amacici ayesezindlebeni zabo, bawaletha ku-Aroni. Wawathatha ezandleni zabo, wawancibilikisa, wabumba, waqopha, wenza ithole ngalolo bumba. Abantu bathi: “Nampa onkulunkulu bakho, Israyeli, abakukhuphula eGibhithe.” Kuthe ukuba u-Aroni akubone lokho, wakha i-althare phambi kwethole, wenza isimemezelo, wathi: “Kusasa kuzokuba nomkhosi kaSimakade.”
