:52:01
And they overlaid the image
with pure gold,
:52:05
and Aaron fashioned it
:52:07
and smoothed it
with the hammer,
:52:11
ready to be graven
:52:12
by cunning art
and man's device.
:52:15
And he fastened it
with nails,
:52:18
that it should not move.
:52:21
And he
that smote the anvil
:52:23
did beat the molten gold
into thin plates,
:52:26
for they had gathered
their treasure
:52:29
into the midst
of the furnace
:52:31
and did blow the fire
upon it to melt it.
:52:37
And they adorned themselves
:52:38
in rich apparel
and costly array,
:52:41
with veils of blue
and purple and scarlet
:52:44
and fine-twined linen
wrought in Egypt.
:52:48
And the women tread grapes
from Midian
:52:52
into new wine.
:52:53
Thou shalt not take
:52:55
the name of the Lord
thy god in vain.
:53:02
Remember the Sabbath day,
to keep it holy.
:53:13
Honor thy father
and thy mother.
:53:23
Thou shalt not kill.
:53:33
Hallel!
:53:35
Hallel!
:53:37
Hallel!
:53:39
And the people
sinned a great sin,
:53:42
for they had
made them a god of gold.
:53:45
And they bore him upon
their shoulders and rejoiced,
:53:49
saying, "This be
our god, O Israel."
:53:53
Are you mourners of Moses
:53:55
afraid to face
the new god of gold?
:53:57
They were as children
who had lost their faith.
