Calf of Gold: Worshipped with Profane Revelry

Source: TTT

Exodus 32:6, 18, 19, 25 So the next day they arose, offered burnt offerings, and presented peace offerings. And the people sat down to eat and drink, and got up to indulge in revelry. / But Moses replied: “It is neither the cry of victory nor the cry of defeat; I hear the sound of singing!” / As Moses approached the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, he burned with anger and threw the tablets out of his hands, shattering them at the base of the mountain.
1 Corinthians 10:7 Do not be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written: “The people sat down to eat and to drink, and got up to indulge in revelry.”
