		The CALF was recognized by certain signs, such as a peculiar white mark on its neck and rump that resembled a hawk's wings and a scarablike hump under its tongue.
		I suspect that Israel's Golden Calf worship is a reflection of a true historical kernel, Canaanite and Mesopotamian Calf worship, it isn't Egyptian at all.
		Ergo, egel-iah is Yahweh's manifestation as a Calf.

	A Reconstructionist Dvar Torah for Ki Tisa
		The Golden Calf represents, among other things, their refusal to totally let go of their past and also their inability to maintain their commitment to one concept, symbol or ideal if their patience is tested.
		Aviva Zornberg discusses the fact that the two sides of the coin that is the Golden Calf may seem to be contradictory, yet are in reality complimentary, or perhaps even symbiotic.
		The ultimate climax is when the people proclaim of the Golden Calf "this is your god, O Israel." In doing so they are not denying that it is the One God who redeemed them from Egypt, but they are content to conceptualize and represent the unlimited God in a very limited way.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Golden Calf
		Various reasons make it probable that the rendering "calf" is not to be taken in a strict sense, for the Hebrew term has a wider signification, and it is likely that in the present case it stands for a young bullock just arrived at maturity.
		He yields to their solicitations, and, making use of the golden earrings of the women and children, he causes a "molten calf" or bull to be fashioned.
		Shortly after its construction Moses returns, and, moved to wrath and indignation, destroys the idol, reducing it to dust and throwing it into the brook from which the Israelites are made to drink.

	Jeffrey Shaw's Golden Calf
		Be that as it may, moving around the pedestal to observe the Golden Calf the viewer performs a sort of ritual dance, a prayer to the disembodied cult object.
		Thus, the Golden Calf can be seen as a system that constantly shifts and slides between the quantum world of microelectronic telepresence and the macro world of biological interactivity, poking fun at and questioning the sanctity of each.
		In this regard, the Golden Calf is a formidable achievement because it accomplishes and promotes the harmonious coexistence of divergent realities, offering hope of a new paradigm that transcends destructive dichotomies, constructing a polychotomous mode of perception, a cyberception(2), based on mutuality, simultaneity and consonance.

	MyJewishLearning.com - Texts: The Golden Calf
		The story of the golden calf, the greatest scandal of the wilderness period, is recalled in Deuteronomy 9:9‑21, based on the fuller account in Exodus 32.
		Many scholars believe that the calf did so by serving as the pedestal or mount on which YHVH was invisibly present, as did the cherubs in the Holy of Holies.
		Some scholars believe that the entire golden calf story is a pejorative recasting--also based on hindsight--of a northern cult legend about the origin of the golden calves that Jeroboam erected in Bethel and Dan (I Kings 12:2‑33).

	The story of the The Golden Calf, Moses, and the Ten Commandments. Exodus in the Bible
		After the split occurred between Israel and Judah, Judah remained in possession of the Temple in Jerusalem and Israel was forced to substitute worship at Bethel in the north.
		This is consistent with the Golden Calf version of events in which Moses went up the mountain alone, as anyone who remembers those movies will recall.
		However, a few verses later, bits and pieces from the earlier tradition surface (it is characteristic of the bizarre editing of the Bible that scraps were not thrown out, but rather an attempt was made to submerge and 'harmonize' the various conflicting accounts).

	Torah Attitude
		To understand the Jewish people's errors concerning the golden calf, it is important to trace the history of idol worship.
		The image of the golden calf represented serving G'd by seeing His hand in nature rather than serving Him on a level of open miracles.
		In a similar way, the level of serving G'd to which the Jews wanted to lower themselves through the image of the golden calf would be a golden opportunity for us to raise ourselves to understand and see the hand of G'd behind the laws of nature.

		And he received the gold at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool and made it a molten calf: And they said, These are your Gods, O Israel, which brought you up out of the Land of Egypt.
		Because Aaron oversaw the creation of the golden calf, and therefore it would not seem proper for him to officiate with the heifer.

		If it is used to enhance conceit, it is negative and reflects the golden calf, which was made partially of gold from the jewelry of the women in the desert.

		Verse 148 mentions something that the Biblical text does not mention: the golden calf-idol “had a sound (as if it was mooing).” This appears to be based on a rabbinical source.
		The individual responsible for the creation of the golden calf is some fellow named As-Samiri, according to 20:85.
		The proposal made by Tisdall at www.truthnet.org/islam/src-chp3.htm (and which is addressed at www.islamic-awareness.org...amari.html), makes very good sense: Muhammad encountered Jewish accounts of the golden calf in which someone named Sammael, or something like Sammael, was said to be responsible for provoking the Israelites to make the golden calf for causing the calf-idol to moo.

		The physics is not a problem, after Moses melted the calf, it cooled and hardened, now ready to be ground.
		Perhaps this teaches that had Moses simply ground the calf, people would feel they were drinking something of the calf per se, an idolatrous rite.
		Melting was prior to the grinding to rid the gold of the form of the calf.

	The Tabernacle And The Golden Calf
		Since the episode of the golden calf is as much part of the Torah as is the building of the Tabernacle, it does not make sense to consider these as an unwelcome additions.
		If Rashi is unwilling to say that the command to build the Tabernacle preceded the episode of the golden calf but nevertheless holds that building the Tabernacle was part of the original Divine plan, we must seek a third way to view this issue.
		The episode of the golden calf in many ways recreated the circumstances of Adams' sin, and its aftermath which lead to constructing the Tabernacle, showed God's program as revealed to Moses for rectifying it.

	Golden Calf
		It is apparent that despite all the good intentions, the sin of the Golden Calf is still characterized as the sin of idolatry, the greatest sin in the Torah, a violation of the second of the Ten Commandments.
		If we regard the sin of the Golden Calf objectively, and strip away the motivation behind its commission, it is quite clear that it would have to be considered idolatry committed with full awareness.
		When the Jews made the Golden Calf, in violation of the commandment, "You shall have no other gods in My Presence," the only way to continue to maintain the relationship with man was to withdraw this Presence.
