وَاتَّخَذَ قَوْمُ مُوسَى مِنْ بَعْدِه ِِ مِنْ حُلِيِّهِمْ عِجْلا ً جَسَدا ً لَه ُُ خُوَارٌ أَلَمْ يَرَوْا أَنَّهُ لاَ يُكَلِّمُهُمْ وَلاَ يَهْدِيهِمْ سَبِيلا ً اتَّخَذُوه ُُ وَكَانُوا ظَالِمِينَ
Wa Attakhadha Qawmu Mūsá Min Ba`dihi Min Ĥulīyihim `Ijlāan Jasadāan Lahu Khuwārun 'Alam Yaraw 'Annahu Lā Yukallimuhum Wa Lā Yahdīhim Sabīlāan Attakhadhūhu Wa Kānū žālimīna
And the people of Moses, in his absence, made from their ornaments a sculpture of a calf that emitted a cry. Did they not see that it could not speak to them, nor guide them to any way? They took it and they were wicked.

فَأَخْرَجَ لَهُمْ عِجْلا ً جَسَدا ً لَه ُُ خُوَار ٌ فَقَالُوا هَذَا إِلَهُكُمْ وَإِلَه ُُ مُوسَى فَنَسِيَ

He then produced for them a sculpture of a calf that emitted a cry. So they said: "This is your god and the god of Moses, but he had forgotten!"
