bible question

[foot fairy]

According to the Bible, where did Aaron get the material to make the golden calf. 4,3,6,8,2,3,6. Any help appreciated.

[mike11111]

From the golden earrings of the people (Exodus 32.2)

[sandyRoe]

Would slaves in bondage in Egypt have had golden earrings?

[bibblebub]

maybe it was just a typo

[sandyRoe]

A typo in the bible? But, it's the word of God!

[bibblebub]

woof is the only word that dogs use

[mike11111]

They had left Egypt by this time and were out of bondage (although apparently one or two of them rather liked it!). As they were wandering in the wilderness for nigh on forty years they had plenty of opportunity to trade with local tribes; you know, "Buy a little, sell a little, oyvay, maseltov!

[pmahone111]

It is not a typo.

[sandyRoe]

If there were local tribes in the wilderness why didn't they give directions to Moses and his people?
