Ayah: 148

وَٱتَّخَذَ قَوۡمُ مُوسَىٰ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦ مِنۡ حُلِيِّهِمۡ عِجۡلٗا جَسَدٗا لَّهُۥ خُوَارٌۚ أَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ أَنَّهُۥ لَا يُكَلِّمُهُمۡ وَلَا يَهۡدِيهِمۡ سَبِيلًاۘ ٱتَّخَذُوهُ وَكَانُواْ ظَٰلِمِينَ
148. And the people of Moses took to themselves after his 'departure', from their ornaments - a (golden) calf (for worship), a 'mere' body28, having a (cow-like) sound. Did they not see that it could neither speak to them nor guide them on any way? They took it (for worship) and they were unjust.
28. This mere body even lacked the basic attributes of being a god, as it was unable to speak to them or benefit them.
