Nehemiah 9:18
"Yea, when they had made them a molten calf, and said, This is thy God that brought thee up out of Egypt, and had wrought great provocations;"

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

Yea, when they had made them a molten calf,.... In imitation of the Apis, or ox of the Egyptians: and said, this is thy god that brought thee out of

Egypt; or the image of thy god, as the Arabic version, see Exo 32:4 , and had wrought great provocations; of all which nothing was greater than idolatry.
