18 Moïse répondit: Ce n’est ni un cri de vainqueurs, ni un cri de vaincus; ce que j’entends, c’est la voix de gens qui chantent.

19 Et, comme il approchait du camp, il vit le veau et les danses. La colère de Moïse s’enflamma; il jeta de ses mains les tables, et les brisa au pied de la montagne.

20 Il prit le veau qu’ils avaient fait, et le brûla au feu; il le réduisit en poudre, répandit cette poudre à la surface de l’eau, et fit boire les enfants d’Israël.

21 Moïse dit à Aaron: Que t’a fait ce peuple, pour que tu l’aies laissé commettre un si grand péché?
