Thank you, Rabbi. I believe that choosing a Calf had a different reason, because the word עגיל (earring) is almost the same word as עגל (calf) in Hebrew, both words share the same root letters and also עיגול (a circle).. So.. from their golden Earrings to a golden Calf to circle and dance.. At the end Moses came and broke their circle of dance then broke the calf to dust and scattered it on the water and made them drink... The cycle of slavery was broken at that moment. Finally, The chains of slavery were broken in spirit and in body and now they are ready for the covenant.

Judaism could have been great. But the reliance on texts outside the Torah itself to explain the Torah, suggests a few things. It suggests that persons may very well be making up and establishing their own interpretations. We see the Torah stating that: 1. Aaron made a golden calf which the people accepted. So If they wanted to replace Moses, why would they accept a molten image? 2. The Torah suggests that Aaron fashioned the calf with graving tools. So where do you get the idea that the calf just appeared after Aaron threw the gold into the fire? So my question is, since I'm assuming you will say God authorized the "commentaries" on the Torah: Why is it that the commentaries suggests the opposite of what is written in the Torah (e.g. Aaron fashioning the calf vs the calf arising from the flames)? God is not the author of confusion.

@mrmurray382 I will answer your question with my question. When the Jews were forced by the Hellenistic Greeks to translate the Torah into Greek (by the way Hebrew translates into Greek very well) that the Jews didn't give them a different text especially as the Torah doesn't make Jews look that great. The stories of the Torah are just the outer garment of the Torah. The soul of the Torah is hidden the same as the soul of a person is hidden inside the body. But those that have eyes to see penetrate further. Jews have an unbroken chain of Oral tradition that goes all the way back to Mt Sinai and they know that if someone comes up with an interpretation, whether from the simple meaning of the text or from the most hidden levels and that if what they say or put down in writing is something that is untrue that soul will be flung down to Gehinnom. A high price to pay for letting your ego get the better of you!

Very interesting, Rabbi. Where in the Scriptures do we find authority for this interpretation? For example, Exodus 32 seems to me to be clear that Aaron had a very direct & active role in the creation of the golden calf. For example, in Ex. 32:4: “He [Aaron] took the gold from them, formed it in a mold, and cast an image of a calf;…”. Also, I have never read about a large multitude of Egyptian elite accompanying the Israelites out of Egypt or that it was they alone who fashioned & worshipped the calf. Please cite your sources as I would love to read the source text, myself. Many thanks.

Let me ask you this. Why did the people of Israel complained so much while traveling in the desert? And who were the ones complaining? Well Egyptians following us to the wilderness they weren’t used to the things they live in. So what is actually said is that there are certain groups of people that complain to God how it was better off in Egypt. And the people of Israel are joining to group to protest and they ask Moshe as well. The Egyptians saw Gods power and what he could do. So of course they would follow the Israelites with God because the Egyptians gods didn’t exist.

The scripture says AARON fashioned the calf with tools (Exodus 32:4) but when he was asked about it by Moses, he claimed the calf appeared (miraculously) after he threw the gold into the fire (Ex 32:24). It wasn't a "great multitude of sorcerers" who "used their magic" to make the calf, as the Rabbi said. That's not what the scripture says. It says Aaron made the calf himself, then claimed the calf appeared on its own. So Aaron himself fashioned the calf, then lied to Moses.

Do any of you people ever check out what a Rabbi tells you? If you did you would realise that you had just listened to another Jewish fairy tale. In Exodus 32. You will find that the people (Israelites) demanded that Aaron make them "gods to go before them", that Aaron collected their gold and that he made them a golden calf and said "these be thy gods O Israel. Aaron then made an alter before it and declared a feast on the following day. "Then "the Lord said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people (Israelites,) which thou brought out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves: They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt". (It tells you just the same in the Orthodox Jewish Bible.) Although a "mixed multitude came out of Egypt with the Israelites there is no mention of them being involved - the Israelites demanded the golden calf, Aaron made it and the Israelites worshipped it.

Well, if you read Exodus 32, it disagrees in some regard with the Rabbi's statement that the calf popped out of the fire (that was the excuse offered). They brought their gold to Aaron telling him to give them a god. Verse 4: "He took this from their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool and made it into a molten calf; and they said 'This is your god, O Israel, who brought you up from the land of Egypt.' (5) Now when Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it..." So according to the text, Aaron made the calf and Aaron made an altar for the calf. Skipping ahead, when Moses comes back on the scene: verse 21: "Then Moses said to Aaron, 'What did this people do to you, that you have brought such great sin upon them?' (22) Aaron said, "Do not let the anger of my lord burn; you know the people yourself, that they are prone to evil. (23) For they said to me, 'Make a god for us who will go before us; for this Moses, the man who brought us up from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.' (24) I said to them 'Whoever has any gold, let them tear it off.' So they gave it to me, and I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf." So the story that it popped out of the fire as a calf, was Aaron's excuse, not what had really happened. God himself told Moses in verse 8: "They have quickly turned aside from the way which I commanded them. They have made for themselves a molten calf, and have worshiped it and have sacrificed to it and said 'This is your god, O Israel, who brought you up from the land of Egypt!'". God himself said that THEY MADE it. I understand the Rabbi's point, but I will stand by the text. As to why a calf? The Israelites came from Canaanite stock--if you doubt that, go read the story of Abraham--he clearly was in the region of Jerusalem, then called Salem, and was blessed by Melchizedek, priest-king of the city. The polytheistic Canaanite pantheon included El, Ashura, YHWH, Ba'al, and others; and the figure of the bull was used extensively. This is known by archaeology. Clearly, the people were reverting to their polytheistic ways, worshiping a graven bovine figure; and Aaron was instrumental in making it so (likely, as the Rabbi points out, feeling that his life was in danger if he did not).

Items that popped into my mind, first, never heard that the calf wasn't formed with labor. Second, pondered the relationship between leader(s) and followers and how it affects behavior separately and as together. Third, I didn't realize that Egyptians were part of the crowd and that the spiritual battle was continuing. I thought that battle, not war, ended at the crossing. Finally, pondered connecting the narrative to our day, 08/2023. Where are we on the spectrum of being close to XXX and worshiping a golden calf? Which way are we moving?

I'm stunned by the complexity of this story that I've only heard preached with meaningless simplicity. It's shocking to hear such a CALM and INTELLIGENT explanation, after hearing preacher-yelling "Jews were so disobedient" because they are evil TROPES. Gosh, I never knew Egyptians were in the mix. My Jewish Grandpa was right. Christmas Tree People are quite Silly and Lacking.

I’ve always wondered why people would name their Baby, Arron. Knowing that he was was responsible for the false God image of the calf. Just to try and prove my point…… have you ever met anyone who’s parents named their daughter Jezebel? I’m in my 60’s and have never met anyone with Jezebel for a name. However I’ve met many Arron’s.

Oh, with all due respect Rabbi, the Jews did make another golden Calf again, having leaned absolutely nothing from their history. It was during the Reign of Jerobaum in the northern kingdom after the split up, when Solomon died! How do you explain that double insanity? Furthermore, Why didn’t Aaron just casually & calmly without debate tell them to adjust their clocks. They are only a half day off! That is not an intolerable amount of time. He could have explained their mistake like you did and they would test his sincerity by waiting another half day before attempting to kill him?

al-A'la Maududi (20:85) He said, "Well, listen! We put your people to a trial after you and the Samiri *63 has misled them. " Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi *63) It is obvious from the last letter `ya' that Samiri was not the proper name of the person, for this Arabic letter is always added to show a person's connection with his race or clan or place. Moreover, the prefix `al' (definite article 'the') in the original Arabic text clearly denotes that the Samiri was a particular man from among many other persons of the same race or clan or place, who had propagated (he worship of the golden calf. In fact, this does not require any further explanation than this, but this has been necessitated because many Christian missionaries and the Western Orientalists have tried to criticise the Holy Prophet and the Qur'an on this account. They say, (God forbid,) "This is a proof of the grievous ignorance of history on the part of Muhammad, the author of the Qur'an, and is one of the anachronisms of the Qur'an." They base this absurd criticism on the assumption that this Samiri was the inhabitant of Samaria, the capital of the ancient kingdom of Israel, which was built in 925 B.C. long after this happening; then centuries after this, a generation of the Samaritans came into existence as a result of inter-marriage between the Israelites and the non-Israelites. As the Samaritans worshipped the golden calf, the critics accuse the Holy Prophet of inventing this story on the basis of mere hearsay. They say that the Holy Prophet might have heard something like this from the neighbouring Jews and inserted it in the Qur'an. This is not all. They also criticise that Haman who was a courtier of Cyrus has been mentioned in the Qur'an as a minister of Pharaoh. It is a pity that these so-called scholars seem to think that in the ancient times there used to be only one person bearing one name in a clan or a place, and there was absolutely no possibility of another person or persons having the same name. They do not know, or pretend they do not know, that during the time of Prophet Abraham, a famous people known as the Sumerians inhabited 'Iraq and the neighbouring regions, and it is just possible that during the time of Prophet Moses there were some people known as the Samiris who might have migrated to Egypt from 'Iraq. Besides this, according to the Bible (1 Kings, 16: 24), Samaria itself was built on a hill which was bought from Shemer and named Samaria after him. This is a clear proof that there were people named Shemer (or Sumer) even before Samaria came into existence and it is also just possible that some clans might have been called "Samiri"

Another lesson I see is that God took the Jews out of Egypt but didn't take Egypt out of the Jews just like God took Lot out of Soddom and Gamorrah but the cities remained in Lots daughters. Metaphor for generational programming. The Egyptians tasked clever Jews to be scribes among them ... the scribes gained knowledge. Ancient Egyptian consciousness and Jewish mystic consciousness share many similarities. I think Egyptians who gained powerful knowledge lost it when they thought they were G_d. Perhaps humility was the true power of the Jews. Pls correct me if I'm wrong Rabbi.💫🙏💜

"And he [Aaron] received them [earrings etc] at their hand and FASHIONED IT WITH A GRAVING TOOL, after he had MADE IT A MOLTEN CALF: and they said, These be thy gods, Israel, which brought the up out of the land of Egypt. And when Aaron saw it, he BUILT AN ALTER BEFORE IT; and Aaron made a proclamation, and said, Tomorrow is a feast to the Lord." (Exodus 32, the Bible). Please people, we have already been warned not to be drawn into fables! This is a Jewish(?) tradition which directly contradicts the account as found in the Hebrew scriptures, Holy Bible (Torah).

Exodus 32:4 32 When the people saw that Moses was so long in coming down from the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said, “Come, make us gods[a] who will go before us. As for this fellow Moses who brought us up out of Egypt, we don’t know what has happened to him.” 2 Aaron answered them, “Take off the gold earrings that your wives, your sons and your daughters are wearing, and bring them to me.” 3 So all the people took off their earrings and brought them to Aaron. 4 He took what they handed him and made it into an idol cast in the shape of a calf, fashioning it with a tool. Then they said, “These are your gods,[b] Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.”

I’ve recently come to the view Moshe’s anger was wrong and he didn’t hold himself accountable. Everyone thought he was dead, he never kept in contact with the tribal leaders and the result was the Golden Calf. That was as much his fault as it was the people’s - plenty of blame to go around. Raw anger is never a good thing and makes matters worse. This is why G-d prevented him from entering the Promised Land and not for what transpired later in Meribah. Being a leader in a crisis is the most difficult thing in the world and Moshe failed his most important test. To rally the people around G-d and put what happened behind them.
