At the beginning of Exodus 32 we read as follows: "When the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain (Mount Sinai), the people gathered around Aaron and said to him, 'Come, make gods for us, who shall go before us; as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.'"
32 Hi nkarhi wolowo vanhu va vona leswaku Muxe a a heta nkarhi wo leha ku rhelela entshaveni.+ Kutani vanhu va hlengeletana eka Aroni va ku eka yena: "Yima, u hi endlela xikwembu lexi nga ta hi rhangela,+ hikuva malunghana na Muxe loyi, wanuna loyi a hi rhangeleke hi huma etikweni ra Egipta,+ kunene a hi tivi leswaku ku endleke yini ha yena."
