Commentary on Exodus 32:25

Theological / Devotional

Were naked. Or possibly, “had broken loose.” That is, the people were giving free rein to their wild passions. Moral restraint had been completely abandoned. The people were practically in a state of riot, having worked themselves up to a frenzy. They had become a wild mob. Aaron was responsible for the orgy, for he had made the calf and proclaimed the feast.

Their shame. Perhaps some of the Amalekites (see Ex. 17:8-16) were still in the vicinity to witness this riotous occasion and its licentious indecencies.
