First sentence: THE thirty-second chapter of the Book of Exodus contains a narrative of one of the most remarkable occurrences in the history of God's chosen people; namely, the making by Aaron at Mount Sinai of a golden idol for the Israelites to worship, which idol is generally considered to have been in the form of a calf, the Hebrew word ['egel or ghegel] being understood to have this signification.
