Exodus 32:31 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 32:31

And Moses returned unto the Lord
On the mount where he was in the cloud:

and said, oh, this people have sinned a great sin;
which to following words explain; he confesses the same to God he had charged the people with in ( Exodus 32:30 ) :

and have made them gods of gold;
the golden calf, which they themselves called "Elohim", gods.
