Exodus 32:25

²³For they say to me, Make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this man Moses, who brought us out of Egypt, we do not know what is become of him.

²⁴And I said to them, If anyone has golden ornaments, take them off; and they gave them me, and I cast them into the fire, and there came out this calf.

— Exodus 32:25 —

²⁶then stood Moses at the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the Lord’s side? let him come to me. Then all the sons of Levi came to him.

²⁷And he says to them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Put every one his sword on his thigh, and go through and return from gate to gate through the camp, and slay every one his brother, and every one his neighbor, and every one him that is nearest to him.
