³⁵ And the Lord sent punishment on the people because they gave worship to the ox which Aaron made.

⁴ And he took the gold from them and, hammering it with an instrument, he made it into the metal image of a young ox: and they said, This is your god, O Israel, who took you out of the land of Egypt.

²⁵ And Moses saw that the people were out of control, for Aaron had let them loose to their shame before their haters:

⁹ Why then have you had no respect for the word of the Lord, doing what is evil in his eyes? You have put Uriah the Hittite to death with the sword, and have taken his wife to be your wife; you have put him to death with the sword of the children of Ammon.

¹⁰ So now the sword will never be turned away from your family; because you have had no respect for me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.

³ Then Judas, who was false to him, seeing that he was to be put to death, in his regret took back the thirty bits of silver to the chief priests and those in authority,

⁴ Saying, I have done wrong in giving into your hands an upright man. But they said, What is that to us? it is your business.

⁵ And he put down the silver in the Temple and went out, and put himself to death by hanging.

⁶ And the chief priests took the silver and said, It is not right to put it in the Temple store for it is the price of blood.

⁷ And they made a decision to get with the silver the potter's field, as a place for the dead of other countries.

¹⁸ (Now this man, with the reward of his evil-doing, got for himself a field, and falling head first, came to a sudden and violent end there.

⁴¹ And they made the image of a young ox in those days, and made an offering to it, and had joy in the work of their hands.
