The Golden Calf-- A dog parable of Exodus 32

If I hurry she won't notice. Besides, I am sure the commandment not to eat her lunch was for only full plates. I am sure she was done eating anyway...probably....mostly. And I have been very hungry lately since she cut back on my dog food which compared to this, tastes like tarpaper. (Which is not bad in a pinch, by the way....) And she has been gone such a long time. She is never coming back, and it is only 4 hours to my dinner time. How will I survive till she returns?


Oh oh. I meant to leave a little. Usually if I leave a little she doesn't notice. Memory loss can have its advantages in my human...Now what? Who to blame? Who to blame? I think I hear her coming back. This is so not good.


Oh, I know how this looks but it is not my fault. I did not do it. It must have been that other dog, the one you made me come here to live with. He put the plate before me with all that lunch left on it, and whamo-slamo, it just disappeared.

When the people saw that Moses was so long in coming down from the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said, “Come, make us gods who will go before us. As for this fellow Moses who brought us up out of Egypt, we don’t know what has happened to him.” Aaron answered them, “Take off the gold earrings that your wives, your sons and your daughters are wearing, and bring them to me.” So all the people took off their earrings and brought them to Aaron. He took what they handed him and made it into an idol cast in the shape of a calf, fashioning it with a tool. Then they said, “These are your gods, Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.” Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go down, because your people, whom you brought up out of Egypt, have become corrupt. They have been quick to turn away from what I commanded them and have made themselves an idol cast in the shape of a calf. They have bowed down to it and sacrificed to it and have said, ‘These are your gods, Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.’ “I have seen these people,” the Lord said to Moses, “and they are a stiff-necked people. Now leave me alone so that my anger may burn against them and that I may destroy them. Then I will make you into a great nation.” He said to Aaron, “What did these people do to you, that you led them into such great sin?” “Do not be angry, my lord,” Aaron answered. “You know how prone these people are to evil. They said to me, ‘Make us gods who will go before us. As for this fellow Moses who brought us up out of Egypt, we don’t know what has happened to him.’ So I told them, ‘Whoever has any gold jewelry, take it off.’ Then they gave me the gold, and I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf!” (Exodus 32:1-4, 7-10, 21-24 NIV)
