THE LAW ON IMAGE WORSHIP.

See! here is a calf standing way up on some high
place. How do you think he came there? Let me tell
you. It is not alive, it is an image made of gold.

You know we just learned about Moses going up
into the mountain to talk with God. God kept Moses on
the mountain a long time, until the people began to feel
that he was never coming back again.. _So the people
said to Aaron, “Up, make us gods, which shall go before
us,’ for we don’t know what has become of Moses.’

Aaron told them to bring their golden ear rings and
finger rings, and he melted them and made this golden
calf. Then the people sacrificed unto it, and worshiped
it. You see Aaron is pouring out an offering on the
altar, and the people are playing on harps and various
other instruments, and so worshiping the golden image.

' Were they doing right? Surely not, for God has
said, “thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image,
or any likeness. of anything that is in heaven above, or
that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under
the earth; thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor
serve them.”

You see they had done very wickedly in making this ~
