Aaron had said to them before: 'My nation, you have been tempted by it. Your Lord is the Merciful. Follow me and obey my order' 90 [But] they answered: "By no means shall we cease to worship it until Moses comes back to us!" 91 He (Moses) said to Aaron: 'When you saw them in error, what prevented you, 92 so that thou didst not follow after me?

On that day we assemble the guilty white-eyed (with terror), 102 In whispers will they consult each other: "Yet tarried not longer than ten (Days); 103 We are Best Aware of what they utter when their best in conduct say: Ye have tarried but a day. 104
