Moses page 33 by ric gustafson
Joshua had been waiting for several weeks for Moses to return. One day, Moses came back carrying large stone tablets. His white hair was as bright as the sun. His mantle blazed like silver. He looked angry.
" Moses, what's wrong?".
" God just told me that the people had made an idol in the form of a golden calf". He sighed. " The people are worshiping it".
When Moses saw the people dancing around the golden calf, he threw the stone tablets and shattered them.
Moses walked into the camp. He yelled at Aaron. " What have you done?". His eyes were bulging. " How could you lead the people to such sin?".
" Do not be mad at me brother". He had a perplexed look. " They persuaded me to make a God".
" Grab a sword and come with me".
That day, at least three thousand were slain. Wailing and crying were heard everywhere.
Moses told the people that he would pray to God and ask for his forgiveness.
God answered. " When the time comes, I will punish them for their sin".
