He just fancied it up with the tool... at least that's what I always thought.... maybe I got the idea from the movie???? maybe. I understand it this way, I could be wrong. they got impatient waiting for Moses to return V4 ( and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf ) if we look here 21 And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them? 22 And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they are set on mischief. 23 For they said unto me, Make us gods, which shall go before us: for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him. 24 And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf. I say Aaron was covering his but from the wrath of Moses in this last verse. What he says happened in V24 does not match what he did in V4. It says that he made it a molten calf then took the tool to it. so I ask, did he just lie to Moses and no one confronted him on it? that seems like a pretty serious kind of thing. I guess that tends to drive me to my impression of it. Did I miss anyone asking Aaron about it? This is just one of those mental things to me, I haven't given it that much thought..... from my personal experience it would not surprise me that he could have melted the gold and the things just came crawling out of the bucket. Something that serious had to have the devil involved...... and with God killing so many who worshiped it, it would seem rather odd if God didn't do anything to Aaron for making it..... v23 implies Moses was gone a long time and they did not think he was coming back Aaron may have feared for his life and made the idol. When Moses questioned Aaron v21 he tried to put blame on the people v 22-v23 these people had been in Egypt 400 years and had grown accustomed to their way of life. I can see the possibility of that but in reality it would be conjuncture for us to say that is definitely the reality of it...... then it still bothers me that Aaron seems to just skate by with nothing said to him about his actions with any real substance to it. They killed three thousand people just that day over it. oh yes Im not saying my thoughts are right Its just the way I thought, I am not one to be right much.

Can't say I agree with you Other One, but that is an interesting thought, and a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geoff Primanti Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 He was trying to shirk his responsibility in the situation with an outright lie. I guess he had never read Hebrews 4:13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
