This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
They made a calf; in imitation of the Egyptians, who worshipped their god Apis in that, or the like form of an ox.
The idol; the calf which they had made, which they could not be so sottish as to terminate their worship in, knowing that they themselves had made it, and it had not made them; yet they are for this charged to have committed idolatry, 1Co_10:6,7.
Rejoiced; which joy they express by feasting, singing, and dancing, Exo_32:6.
The works of their own hands; so this idol, and idols generally, are called, Psa_115:4 135:15 which is enough to speak their emptiness and vanity; vain man can make but vain gods.
