Talk:Golden calf
Exodus 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.
The word molten is from the Hebrew word maccekah. [1] The word calf is from ‘egel AyinGimelLamed [2]
