Acts 7:40-42
1599 Geneva Bible
40 Saying unto Aaron, (A)Make us gods that may go before us: for we know not what is become of this Moses that brought us out of the land of Egypt.
41 And they made a [a]calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
42 Then God turned himself away, and [b]gave them up to serve the [c]host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the Prophets, (B)O house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness?
