Brief Summary: It is a very lamentable interruption whichthe story of this chapter gives to the record of theestablishment of the church, and of religion among the Jews.Things went on admirably well towards that happy settlement: Godhad shown himself very favourable, and the people also hadseemed to be pretty tractable. Moses had now almost completedhis forty days upon the mount, and, we may suppose, was pleasinghimself with the thoughts of the very joyful welcome he shouldhave to the camp of Israel at his return, and the speedy settingup of the tabernacle among them. But, behold, the measures arebroken, the sin of Israel turns away those good things fromthem, and puts a stop to the current of God's favours; the sinthat did the mischief (would you think it?) was worshipping agolden calf. The marriage was ready to be solemnized between Godand Israel, but Israel plays the harlot, and so the match isbroken, and it will be no easy matter to piece it again. Hereis, I. The sin of Israel, and of Aaron particularly, in makingthe golden calf for a god (v. 1-4), and worshipping it (v. 5, v.6). II. The notice which God gave of this to Moses, who was nowin the mount with him (v. 7, v. 8), and the sentence of hiswrath against them (v. 9, v. 10). III. The intercession whichMoses immediately made for them in the mount (v. 11-13), and theprevalency of that intercession (v. 14). IV. His coming downfrom the mount, when he became an eye-witness of their idolatry(v. 15-19), in abhorrence of which, and as an expression of justindignation, he broke the tables (v. 19), and burnt the goldencalf (v. 20). V. The examination of Aaron about it (v. 21-24).VI. Execution done upon the ring-leaders in the idolatry (v.25-29). VII. The further intercession Moses made for them, toturn away the wrath of God from them (v. 30-32), and a reprievegranted thereupon, reserving them for a further reckoning (v.33, etc.).
