When the people saw that Moses was so long in coming down from the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said, "Come, make us gods who will go before us. As for this fellow Moses who brought us up out of Egypt, we don't know what has happened to him."
Exodus 32:1 NIV
It is somewhat shocking what the people did after forty days of Moses being up on the mountain. Out of sight, out of mind. There seems to be some time period that causes either recurring sins to re-emerge and/ or people to stray from God.
This should be a warning to us as people thinking about ourselves and thinking about others. This is another reason for the command in Hebrews for us not to forsake meeting together. We need to remind and encourage one another.
