Exodus 32

ExodusSteve Gregg
Exodus 32 describes the Israelites' creation of a golden calf, which led to idolatry and violated the second commandment. Moses intercedes with God to spare the Israelites, showing humility and concern for God's honor. While ultimately forgiven, the incident resulted in the deaths of over 3000 men as a punishment for their guilt in the idol worship. The chapter serves as a warning against idolatry and immorality, and is referenced by the apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 10.
