Exodus 32 General Notes
Structure and formatting
The events of this chapter occur while Moses spoke with God and therefore happen at the same time as chapters 20-31.
Some translations prefer to set apart extended quotations, prayers or songs. The ULB and many other English translations indent the lines of 32:18, which is an important quotation.
