Exodus32:35
35 And the LORD plagued the people , because they made the calf which Aaron made .
This relates either to the destruction of 3000 of them by the Levites, or rather to the future plagues, in which God also reckoned with them for this sin.
They made it, because they urged Aaron to make it, as Iud[illegible: 1+ letters]s is said to purchasethe field, Act. 1. 18. which was purchased by his mony, and Aaron made it, by giving command to make it. The Chaldee, Syriack, Arabick and Samaritan render the words thus, they worshipped or sacrificed to the calf which Aaron made. And the word which signifies to make is oft used for worshipping or sacrificing, as Exod. 10. 25. Iudg. 13. 15 1 King. 18. 26.
