"Of course," responded Barney, "but what's the rush?" Statement: In Midrash, it says: ‫ָאמַר רַ ּבִי אֱ לִיעֶ זֶר‬ Rabbi Eleazar said, ‫ׁשְלׁשָה הֵן ׁשֶֹלא הִ מְּתִ ינּו ּבְ ׁשַ לְ וָתָ ן‬ "There were three who did not wait for their contentment ‫ׁשֵׁש ׁשָעֹות‬ (even) six hours, ‫ וְ סִיסְרָ א‬,‫ וְ יִׂשְרָ אֵל‬,‫ ָאדָ ם‬:‫וְ אֵּלּו הֵן‬ and they are: Adam, Israel, and Sisra… ‫ ׁשֶ ּנֶאֱ מַר וַ ּי ְַרא הָ עָם ּכִי בׁשֵׁש מׁשֶה‬,‫וְ יִׂשְרָ אֵל‬ …Israel, as it says: "And the nation saw that Moses delayed" ‫ּכִי בָאּו ׁשֵׁש ׁשָעֹות‬ (The word ‫ בׁשֵׁש‬hints) that when six hours had passed (‫)ּכִי בָאּו ׁשֵׁש‬, ‫וְֹלא בָא מׁשֶה‬ Moshe had not appeared.[1] The Talmud tells us, “When Moses ascended on High, he told the Jewish people: ‘Toward the end of forty days, at the beginning of six hours, I will come.’ Toward the end of forty days, Satan came and confused the world by means of a misty fog. ‫ עֲ שֵׂה־לָנוּ אֱֹלקִים אֲ שֶׁר יֵלְכוּ לְ פָ נֵינוּ‬- Make us gods that will go before us because this man Moses, who brought us up from the land of Egypt, we don't know what has become of him.”[4] At the moment that the gold was being gathered together, there was no idol worship. This understanding can be seen earlier in the Torah, where there is a prohibition of ‫ אֱֹלקִים ֹלא תְ קַ ּלֵל‬- You shall not curse a judge.[5] Indeed, Rashi states earlier that ‫ אֵין אֱֹלקִים אֶ לָא דַ י ָין‬- The word Elokim is not anything other than referring to a judge.”[6] One could deduce that the gathering of gold in this context was for the purpose of securing a salary to pay those who would fill this position.[7] The gold was not for idol worship at this point.[7] Rabbenu Bachya and Bechor Shor hold that Aharon refused a request made by the Israelites to make a human replacement for Moshe. Therefore, Aharon created a statue representing leadership and tried to further delay the pressures of the masses by proclaiming, “‫ וַיּ ֹאמַר חַג לַה' מָ חָר‬- Tomorrow shall be a festival to G-d.”[8] The next day, which was the actual 40th day, had the people waited till the 6th hour, they would have seen the return of Moshe. Instead, it was during these hours that Chur, the son of Miriam and Kalev, was murdered while trying to prevent them from seeking
