The Israelites made a Golden Calf.
When Moses was on Mount Sinai for40 days, the people got restless and melted their gold andbuilt a golden calf.
When moses had gone to the top of Mount Sinai to speak to God and collect the ten commandments, and he was away for 40 days. The people got restless and melted their gold and what they took from the Egyptians , and made a golden calf and were drinking and dancing around it.
The Hebrew people melted their gold and made a golden calf and were worshiping it and dancing around it. Moses got angry and threw the two tablets of stone, that had the ten commandments and it broke.
In Exodus 32:1, while Moses was delayed on Mount Sinai, the people said to Aaron, "Up, make us gods, who shall go before us;..." Aaron obliged, taking their gold jewelry and made a molten calf from it (Exodus 32:4).
he was one of the isrealities , a sorcerer in the time of Moses he took the sand left behind Garbriel's horse and mixed it with some gold to create the Golden Calf , While Moses (Musa (a.s.)) was in communion with God on the heights of mount Sinai, when Aaron tried to warn the people but they said "We will not abandon this cult, but we will devote ourselves to it until Moses returns to us."
I think the first reference to an altar covered in gold is Aaron. When Moses was receiving the ten commandments from God at the top of the mountain and Aaron was in charge of all the people. They used the gold jewelry of the people to build an altar but it was a pagan tradition so when moses came down from the mount he broke the tablets God had written the 10 commandements on out of anger. But, obviously if the people knew to make an altar of gold they had seen someone do it before. The first sacrafices were Cain and Abel after God had blessed their work.
Moses was told to get the gold. So the Isaraelites plundered the gold from the Egyptians , before they left Egypt.
