Just after leaving Egypt!
When they told Aaron to make a golden calf!
And they worshiped it!
And they abandoned God!
And he wanted to eradicate them!
And make a nation from Moses!
But Moses saved their skins by calming God!
They lost the incredible privilege to have a special relationship with him!
