PSALM—NOTE ON Psalms 106:19 The psalm moves on to the calf in Horeb, the “golden calf” (Exodus 32:1). They worshiped this idol because they were unfaithful (Psalms 106:21; see vv. Psalms 106:7, Psalms 106:13). Moses stood in the breach before God (an image taken from risking one’s own life to close up a gap broken in a wall; see Nehemiah 6:1; Ezekiel 13:5), to turn away God’s wrath from destroying the Israelites (Exodus 32:11).
