(It is) easy for them to turn-(their)-back from what I commanded them and they made gods for them to worship.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “But then he said to me, ‘Go down the mountain immediately, because the people whom you are leading, the people whom you led out of Egypt, have committed a terrible sin! They have very quickly done what I commanded them not to do. They have made for themselves a metal statue of a calf to worship.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
