The Holy Quran 2:92 — Surah Al-Baqarah

Arabic text

۞ وَلَقَدْ جَآءَكُم مُّوسَىٰ بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ ثُمَّ ٱتَّخَذْتُمُ ٱلْعِجْلَ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِۦ وَأَنتُمْ ظَـٰلِمُونَ

Translation

Verily, Moosa عليه الصلاة والسلام came to you with clear signs (miracles such as his staff which became a snake, his shining hand and the splitting of the sea), but then you started worshipping the calf after him (after his departure to the mountain) and you were oppressors (transgressors).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The Children of Israel are wrongdoers: that is, Musa ﵇, on whose shariah you stand and for the sake of whose shariah you deny the other true shariahs, himself showed you clear miracles (such as the staff, the white hand, the parting of the sea and others), yet when he went to Mount Tur for a few days, in that short time you took the calf as a god.
