NASB
"So the sons of Levi did as Moses instructed, and about three thousand men of the people fell that day."
— Exodus 32:28, NASB
“And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.”
“And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men. ”
“The sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.”
“The Levites did what Moses ordered, and that day about three thousand men of the people died.”
“And the sons of Levi did according to the words of Moses, and there were slain that day about three and twenty thousand men.”
“And the sons of Levi did as Moses said; and about three thousand of the people were put to death that day.”
“And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.”
Now when Moses saw that the people were out of control--for Aaron had let them get out of control to be a derision among their enemies--
then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, "Whoever is for the LORD, come to me!" And all the sons of Levi gathered together to him.
He said to them, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'Every man of you put his sword upon his thigh, and go back and forth from gate to gate in the camp, and kill every man his brother, and every man his friend, and every man his neighbor.'"
So the sons of Levi did as Moses instructed, and about three thousand men of the people fell that day.
Then Moses said, "Dedicate yourselves today to the LORD--for every man has been against his son and against his brother--in order that He may bestow a blessing upon you today."
On the next day Moses said to the people, "You yourselves have committed a great sin; and now I am going up to the LORD, perhaps I can make atonement for your sin."
Then Moses returned to the LORD, and said, "Alas, this people has committed a great sin, and they have made a god of gold for themselves.
