Exodus 32:1-5 And, when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him––Up, make for us gods, who shall go before us, for, as for this Moses––the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what hath befallen him.

And Aaron made proclamation, and said, A festival to Yahweh, tomorrow!
