Matthew Poole and continuators on Exodus 32:3

3 And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears , and brought them unto Aaron.

Whereby they shew both their madness upon their Idols, and their base ingratitude to their God, who had transferred these jewels from the Egyptians to them, Exod. 12. 35, 36. which therefore God upbraids them with, Ezek. 16. 11, &c.

(i. e.) The mens ears, for the affix is of the masculine gender: whereby it seems the men were more set upon Idolatry than the women, parting with their ear-rings for it, which the women would not do.
