Na tukawavusha bahari Wana wa Israili, wakafika kwa watu wanao abudu masanamu (7:138)

﴿وَجَاوَزْنَا بِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الْبَحْرَ فَأَتَوْا عَلَىٰ قَوْمٍ يَعْكُفُونَ عَلَىٰ أَصْنَامٍ لَّهُمْ ۚ قَالُوا يَا مُوسَى اجْعَل لَّنَا إِلَٰهًا كَمَا لَهُمْ آلِهَةٌ ۚ قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ قَوْمٌ تَجْهَلُونَ﴾
[ الأعراف: 138]

Na tukawavusha bahari Wana wa Israili, wakafika kwa watu wanao abudu masanamu yao. Wakasema: Ewe Musa! Hebu tufanyie na sisi miungu kama hawa walivyo kuwa na miungu. Musa akasema: Hakika nyinyi ni watu msio jua kitu.

Wana wa Israili wakaivuka bahari kwa uangalizi wetu, na kuwaunga mkono na kuwafanyia mepesi mambo yao. Baada ya kwisha vuka waliwakuta kaumu wameshika ibada ya masanamu. Walipoona hivi yale waliyo kuwa wameyazoea kuwaona Wamisri wakiabudu masanamu yaliwaghilibu, wakamtaka Musa awafanyie nao masanamu wayaabudu, kama ilivyo kuwa wale kaumu wana masanamu yao wanayo yaabudu! Hapo hapo Musa a.s. aliwatahayarisha na kuwakanya, akasema: Hakika nyinyi ni watu wapumbavu, msio na akili! Hamjui ibada ya Haki, wala hamumjui Mungu anaye stahiki kuabudiwa!
