Exodus 32:23 in Context — Exodus 32

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

22 Aaron répondit: Que la colère de mon seigneur ne s’enflamme point! Tu sais toi-même que ce peuple est porté au mal.

23 Ils m’ont dit: Fais-nous un dieu qui marche devant nous; car ce Moïse, cet homme qui nous a fait sortir du pays d’Égypte, nous ne savons ce qu’il est devenu.

24 Je leur ai dit: Que ceux qui ont de l’or, s’en dépouillent! Et ils me l’ont donné; je l’ai jeté au feu, et il en est sorti ce veau.

25 Moïse vit que le peuple était livré au désordre, et qu’Aaron l’avait laissé dans ce désordre, exposé à l’opprobre parmi ses ennemis.
