Footnotes & Cross-References
Footnotes
Exodus 32:1 [1] Elohim in the Hebrew, a plural Hebrew form used most often to refer to the true God. It can also mean "gods," which is an option here, but the account of the golden calf incident implies that the people wanted a single idol (see 32:4 and note). Assuming that they had just one idol in mind, it may be that the Israelites were demanding an idol representing God (Elohim) Himself.
