Douay-Rheims Bible: Exodus — Introduction, Chapter Summaries and Notes by Richard Challoner
Chapter 32
SummaryThe people fall into idolatry. Moses prayeth for them. He breaketh the tables: destroyeth the idol: blameth Aaron, and causeth many of the idolaters to be slain.
[32:25] Naked. . .Having lost not only their gold, and their honour, but what was worst of all, being stripped also of the grace of God, and having lost him. — The shame of the filth. . . That is, of the idol, which they had taken for their god. It is the usual phrase of the scripture to call idols filth and abominations.
