John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 32:22

And Aaron said, let not the anger of my lord wax hot ,.... He addresses him in a very respectful manner, though his younger brother, being in a superior office, the chief ruler of the people, king in Jeshurun; and he perceived a violent emotion rising in him, great indignation in his countenance, and an high resentment of what was done, and therefore he entreats his patience to hear him, in a few words, what he had to say, and he begins with the well known character of the people: thou... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 32:23

For they said unto me, make us gods, which shall go before us ,.... Which was true, Exodus 32:1 but then he should have told them, that gods were not to be made; that what were made with hands were no gods, and could not go before them; that the making of any image, similitude, or representation of God, was forbidden by him, as they had lately heard from his own mouth; he should have dissuaded from such idolatry, by showing them the evil nature of the sin, and the ruin they exposed... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 32:24

And I said unto them, whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off ,.... That is, any ear rings of gold, let them loose or take them off their ears: so they gave it me ; of their own accord, as if unasked by him, though he had bid them bring it to him, Exodus 32:2 , then I cast it into the fire ; to melt it, but says nothing of the mould the melted gold was poured into: and there came out this calf ; he speaks of it as if the gold became in the form of a calf without any... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 32:25

And when Moses saw that the people were naked ,.... Not in their bodies, being stripped of their ear rings; for parting with them was not sufficient to denominate them naked in a corporeal sense; nor as being without their armour, which was laid aside while they were eating, and drinking, and dancing about the calf, and so might be thought a proper opportunity for the Levites to fall upon them, by the order of Moses, and slay them: but it can hardly be thought that all the people bore... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 32:6

The people sat down to eat and to drink - The burnt-offerings were wholly consumed; the peace-offerings, when the blood bad been poured out, became the food of the priests, etc. When therefore the strictly religious part of these ceremonies was finished, the people sat down to eat of the peace-offerings, and this they did merely as the idolaters, eating and drinking to excess. And it appears they went much farther, for it is said they rose up to play, לצחק letsachek , a word of ominous... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 32:7

Thy people - have corrupted themselves - They had not only got into the spirit of idolatry, but they had become abominable in their conduct, so that God disowns them to be his: Thy people have broken the covenant, and are no longer entitled to my protection and love. This is one pretense that the Roman Catholics have for the idolatry in their image worship. Their high priest, the pope, collects the ornaments of the people, and makes an image, a crucifix, a madonna, etc. The people worship... read more

A stiff-necked people - Probably an allusion to the stiff-necked ox, the object of their worship. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 32:10

Now therefore let me alone - Moses had already begun to plead with God in the behalf of this rebellious and ungrateful people; and so powerful was his intercession that even the Omnipotent represents himself as incapable of doing any thing in the way of judgment, unless his creature desisted from praying for mercy! See an instance of the prevalence of fervent intercession in the case of Abraham, Genesis 18:23-33 , from the model of which the intercession of Moses seems to have been formed. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 32:14

And the Lord repented of the evil - This is spoken merely after the manner of men who, having formed a purpose, permit themselves to be diverted from it by strong and forcible reasons, and so change their minds relative to their former intentions. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 32:15

The tables were written on both their sides - If we take this literally, it was certainly a very unusual thing; for in ancient times the two sides of the same substance were never written over. However, some rabbins suppose that by the writing on both sides is meant the letters were cut through the tables, so that they might be read on both sides, though on one side they would appear reversed. Supposing this to be correct, if the letters were the same with those called Hebrew now in common... read more
