Day 47 - Read Exodus 32

The people grew weary while waiting for Moses to return from the mountain. They asked Aaron to make gods for them to follow. Aaron made a golden calf and an altar for worship. They offered burnt offerings to the golden calf. God sent Moses back to the people and threatened to destroy the people. Moses asked God to spare them. When Moses saw them worshipping the calf, he destroyed the animal sacrifice. Moses sent the sons of Levi to kill all who were continuing in idolatry, and about 3,000 men were killed. God told His people to continue to the promised land. He sent a plague on the people because of their sin.
