Golden Calf
The long and mysterious absence of Moses on Mount Sinai lead the people to create the Golden Calf. Not having their leader roused the terror of the Israelites as they waited in the wilderness. They were like children in their weakness. They had clung to Moses, and now he had disappeared. They were alone, and afraid. Aaron had been left in charge of them; therefore, they came to Aaron, clamorous, demanding that he give them something to worship.
There was something pitiful in their weakness, and Aaron was as weak as they. He too was afraid. Yielding to their prayers and threats, he bade them bring him their gold ornaments, which they had taken from the Egyptians. These treasures he melted and made from them a golden calf after the manner of the gods of Egypt. When this was reared on high, the people were no longer afraid. They made a feast and worshipped the golden idol, dancing about it and perfoming wicked ceremonies of self-surrender and public shame, such as they had learned in Egypt.
