The people of Moses made, in his absence, out of their ornaments, the image of calf, (for worship): it seemed to low: did they not see that it could neither speak to them, nor show them the way? They took it for worship and they did wrong.
و قوم موسى پس از [عزيمت‌] او، از زيورهاى خود مجسمه گوساله‌اى براى خود ساختند كه صداى گاو داشت. آيا نديدند كه آن [گوساله‌] با ايشان سخن نمى‌گويد و راهى بدانها نمى‌نمايد؟ آن را [به پرستش ]گرفتند و ستمكار بودند.
