In today's reading, Exodus 32-34, the children of Israel and their priest Aaron break their new covenant with God in such a blatant and egregious way, it is almost hard to believe. A short time prior they eagerly agree to the covenant with God, stating that they would do all He said. Aaron is anointed as priest. Then they all behave in such a despicable way, it doesn't even seem that they could be the same group of people. Is it just their immaturity? Are they so accustomed to being slaves in Egypt that they are behaving like college freshman, away from home for the first time?
