The Golden Calf

Parshat Ki Tisa

Exodus Chapters 30:11 to 34:35

Summary

G-d gave Moses more instructions about the Tabernacle including how to prepare the special oil and incense. Moses commanded that every Israelite pay half a shekel to the priests. When Moses had been gone for 40 days, the people lost patience and built a Golden Calf for them to worship. When Moses came down the mountain and saw the Golden Calf he shattered the Ten Commandments.
