2nd Commandment: No Idols
It's got to mean shaped in some way.
BibleProject
2nd Commandment: No Idols
And I just think of molten lava.
BibleProject
2nd Commandment: No Idols
The only time I use the word molten is talking about molten lava.
BibleProject
2nd Commandment: No Idols
I don't even use that word very often.
BibleProject
2nd Commandment: No Idols
So in the story of the golden calf, the first idol in Israel's history.
BibleProject
2nd Commandment: No Idols
Molten, because Aaron takes gold rings.
BibleProject
2nd Commandment: No Idols
We're told that he fashions them with a graving tool and makes it into a molten calf.
BibleProject
2nd Commandment: No Idols
So at some point he melted it down.
BibleProject
2nd Commandment: No Idols
We're not told when they did that.
BibleProject
2nd Commandment: No Idols
We're just told what he does with the material after he's poured it into a mold and it begins to shape up.

2nd Commandment: No Idols

BibleProject
2nd Commandment: No Idols
Yeah, or maybe they just heated it up so that it was moldable enough.
BibleProject
2nd Commandment: No Idols
But I guess if you're turning rings... That's true.
