DECEMBER 10, 2021 Exodus 32:26 Then Moses stood in the entrance of the camp, and said, “Whoever is on the Lord’s side—come to me!” And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him.

DECEMBER 9, 2021 Exodus 32:21, 25 And Moses said to Aaron, “What did this people do to you that you have brought so great a sin upon them?” … Moses saw that the people were unrestrained (for Aaron had not restrained them, to their shame among their enemies).
