NLTNew Living Translation

The people made a calf at Mount Sinai;

they bowed before an image made of gold.

They traded their glorious God

for a statue of a grass-eating bull.

They forgot God, their savior,

who had done such great things in Egypt—

such wonderful things in the land of Ham,

such awesome deeds at the Red Sea.

So he declared he would destroy them.

But Moses, his chosen one, stepped between the Lord and the people.

He begged him to turn from his anger and not destroy them.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

They made a calf at Horeb

and bowed down to a cast image.

And so they exchanged their glory

for an image of an ox that eats grass.

They forgot God their Savior,

who had done great things in Egypt,

wonders in the land of Ham,

awesome deeds by the Red Sea.

So he said he would exterminate them,

had not Moses, his chosen one,

stood in the breach before him,

to reverse his wrath from destroying them.

KJV 1900King James Version

They made a calf in Horeb,

And worshipped the molten image.

Thus they changed their glory

Into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.

They forgat God their saviour,

Which had done great things in Egypt;

Wondrous works in the land of Ham,

And terrible things by the Red sea.

Therefore he said that he would destroy them,

Had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach,

To turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.
