Deuteronomio 9:12

Listen to Deuteronomio 9:12
12 Entonces el SEÑOR me dijo: "Levántate; baja aprisa de aquí, porque tu pueblo que sacaste de Egipto se ha corrompido. Pronto se han apartado del camino que yo les había ordenado; se han hecho un ídolo de fundición."

Deuteronomio 9:12 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 9:12

And the Lord said unto me
The omniscient God, who knew what was doing in the camp of Israel, though Moses did not, of which he informs him:

arise, get thee down quickly from hence;
from the mount where he was; and the word "arise" does not suppose him to be sitting or lying along, neither of which postures would have been suitable, considering in whose presence he was; but is only expressive of urgency and haste of his departure; it is not used in ( Exodus 32:7 )

for thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt, have
corrupted themselves;
their way, as the Targum of Jonathan; that is, by idolatry, than which nothing is more corrupting and defiling; the Lord calls them not his people, but the people of Moses, being highly displeased with them; and ascribes their coming out of Egypt to Moses the instrument, and not to himself, as if he repented of bringing them from thence:

they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them:
it being but about six weeks ago, that the command forbidding idolatry, the sin they had fallen into, had been given them:

and they have made them a molten image;
the image of a calf made of melted gold.

Deuteronomio 9:12 In-Context

10 Y el SEÑOR me dio las dos tablas de piedra escritas por el dedo de Dios; y en ellas estaban todas las palabras que el SEÑOR os había dicho en el monte, de en medio del fuego, el día de la asamblea.
11 Y aconteció al cabo de cuarenta días y cuarenta noches, que el SEÑOR me dio las dos tablas de piedra, las tablas del pacto.
12 Entonces el SEÑOR me dijo: "Levántate; baja aprisa de aquí, porque tu pueblo que sacaste de Egipto se ha corrompido. Pronto se han apartado del camino que yo les había ordenado; se han hecho un ídolo de fundición."
13 También me habló el SEÑOR, diciendo: "He visto a este pueblo, y en verdad es un pueblo de dura cerviz.
14 "Déjame que los destruya y borre su nombre de debajo del cielo; y de ti haré una nación más grande y más poderosa que ellos."
