Moses was up on the mountain a long time. The people got tired of waiting.
They told Aaron, “Make us a god we can see!” Aaron melted their gold earrings and made a golden calf. The people danced around it.
God was very angry, and Moses was too. Moses prayed for the people, and God forgave them. But it was a sad day.
