BIBLE QUIZ: Fill in the blanks…..

Old Testament – And when the people saw that Moses delayed in coming down from the mountain, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, “Come make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we don’t know what is become of him.” And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me. And all the people took off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron. And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, and cast in the shape of ______: and they said, “These are your gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.” And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, Tomorrow is a feast to the LORD. And they rose up early the next day, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.

What was the idol that Aaron made from the gold earrings of the people?
