The people in the absence of Moses, caused Aaron to make a calf7. God informs Moses, who intercedes for Israel, and prevails 15. Moses comes down with the tablets 19. He breaks them 20. He destroys the calf 22. Aaron's excuse for himself 25. Moses causes the idolaters to be slain 30. He prays for the people What did this people do to you This phrase begins with Moses confronting Aaron, his brother, and the high priest, about the grave sin of idolatry that the Israelites have committed. The Hebrew word for "people" here is "עָם" (am), which often refers to a collective group bound by common identity or purpose. Moses' question implies a sense of incredulity and disappointment. He is seeking to understand what could have possibly driven Aaron to allow such a transgression. This reflects Moses' role as a leader who is deeply concerned with the spiritual well-being of his people. Historically, this moment is pivotal as it underscores the tension between leadership and accountability within the community of Israel. Moses asked that you have led them into so great a sin? 1. It was the people's fault, not his; they were "set on mischief." 2. It was a fatality - he threw the gold into the fire, and "it came out this calf."

Moses does not suppose that the people had really done anything to Aaron. He asks the question as a reproach - they had done nothing to thee - had in no way injured thee - and yet thou broughtest this evil upon them. So great a sin. Literally, "a great sin" - the sin of idolatry. If Aaron had offered a strenuous opposition from the first, the idolatry might not have taken place - the people might have been brought to a better mind.
