line 4: "He took [them] from their hand[s], fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made it into a molten calf, upon which they said: "These are your gods, O Israel, who have brought you up from the land of Egypt!"
line 8: "They have quickly turned away from the path that I have commanded them; they have made themselves a molten calf! And they have prostrated themselves before it, slaughtered sacrifices to it, and said: 'These are your gods, O Israel, who have brought you up from the land of Egypt.' "
What makes this sin different from the offense in the garden of Eden when the serpent tempted Eve?
4 “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. 5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
The 2nd question, repentance does have to take place (yes) but in order to bring someone to that point - what has to take place first? Can someone go from sinning and then repentance all in the same action?
