Acts 7:40 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Make us gods; according to the Egyptians, who held that there were many gods, and divers degrees of gods; they therefore speak in the plural number. This Moses: though they confess the great deliverance wrought by Moses's means, yet how contemptibly do they speak of him! We wot not what is become of him: they could not but know that Moses was gone up into the mount unto God, at his command, and had not forgotten them, but had left Aaron and Hur to govern them; yet they soon forgot both God and Moses, notwithstanding the large and late experience they had of his wonders: this is left upon record against them, Psalms 106:13,21.

Acts 7:40

40 Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: for as for this Moses, which brought us out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
