Isifundo esivela emiBhalweni: amaJuda ku-Eksodusi 32
AmaJuda ekugcineni akhululwa eGibhithe futhi ahlala phansi kweNtaba iSinayi elinde uMose ukuthi abuye ezansi nentaba. Abantu abaningi baba nokuthula futhi baya ku-Aaron becela ukuthi abanye onkulunkulu badalelwe ukubalandela. Ngakho-ke u-Aaron wathatha igolide labo wakha isithombe sethole. Abantu baqala ukugubha "emibuthanweni yamaqaba". Umkhosi wathukuthelisa uJehova, owatshela uMose ukuthi uzobabhubhisa abantu. UMose wathandazela ukusindiswa kwabo futhi uJehova wavumela abantu ukuba baphile.
Noma kunjalo, uMose wathukuthela kakhulu ngenxa yokuphelelwa isineke kwabo waze wayala ukuthi labo ababengekho ngasohlangothini lweNkosi babulawe. INkosi yabe isithumela "inhlupho enkulu kubantu ngoba babekhonze ithole elenziwe ngu-Aaron."
