출애굽기 32:20-25 KRV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Exodus 32:15-20

Here is, I. The favour of God to Moses, in trusting him with the two tables of the testimony, which, though of common stone, were far more valuable than all the precious stones that adorned the breast-plate of Aaron. The topaz of Ethiopia could not equal them, Exod. 32:15, 16. God himself, without the ministry either of man or angel (for aught that appears), wrote the ten commandments on these tables, on both their sides, some on one table and some on the other, so that they were folded... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Exodus 32:21-29

Moses, having shown his just indignation against the sin of Israel by breaking the tables and burning the calf, now proceeds to reckon with the sinners and to call them to an account, herein acting as the representative of God, who is not only a holy God, and hates sin, but a just God, and is engaged in honour to punish it, Isa. 59:18. Now, I. He begins with Aaron, as God began with Adam, because he was the principal person, though not first in the transgression, but drawn into it. Observe... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 32:20

And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire ,.... Melted it down into a mass of gold, whereby it lost its form, and had no more the appearance of a calf: and ground it to powder ; but how this was done is not easy to say, whether by beating the mass of gold into thin plates, and then filing them small; for this art has remained unknown; the chemists have boasted of it as only possessed of it; but it seems Moses, learned in all the learning of the Egyptians, had it:... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 32:21

And Moses said unto Aaron ,.... Having destroyed the calf, and thereby expressed his abhorrence of their idolatry, he examines the principal persons concerned, and inquires into the cause and reason of it, how it came about; and begins with Aaron, though his own brother, with whom along with Hur he had committed the government of the people during his absence; and therefore was justly accountable for such a transaction, which could not have been without his knowledge and consent: no mention... read more

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 32:20

He took the calf - and burnt - and ground it to powder, etc. - How truly contemptible must the object of their idolatry appear when they were obliged to drink their god, reduced to powder and strewed on the water! "But," says an objector, "how could gold, the most ductile of all metals, and the most ponderous, be stamped into dust and strewed on water?" In Deuteronomy 9:21 , this matter is fully explained. I took, says Moses, your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire,... read more
