The Bible mentions three golden calves fashioned and worshipped by the Israelites. According to the Book of Exodus, the first was built during the Exodus from Egypt, while Moses and Joshua were away on the mountain where Moses received the Ten Commandments. 1 Kings 12:28-29 says that Jeroboam placed a golden calf in the city of Bethel and another in Dan, and the people came to worship.
The golden calf, or a golden bull, was a common representation for the West Semitic father of the gods, El (biblical: Elohim) and also for the moon god. The Bible places the Exodus from Egypt at approximately 1440 BCE, and the context of the story indicates that this calf was the moon god. On the biblical evidence, the calves built by King Jeroboam can be dated to early in the eighth century BCE, and may have represented El.

Why did the israelites remain so long at sinai?
Having sinned in the event of the golden calf, the Israelites remained at Sinai while Moses prayed for them for many weeks, and then when he ascended Sinai to receive the second tablets (of the Ten Commandments) from God (Deuteronomy 9-10). They stayed there to build the Tabernacle, which itself was also part of the rectification after the sin of the golden calf. Their sojourn at Sinai totaled one Hebrew (lunar) year, minus ten days.See also:Complaints, and the golden calf

What day is the Day of Atonement?
The day of atonement is called Yom kippur. After the Israelites alienated God by worshiping the golden calf, Moses ascended Mount Sinai to ask God for forgiveness. While Moses was on the mountain, the Israelites repented by fasting. On the tenth day of the Hebrew month of Tishrei (Yom Kippur), Moses descended Mount Sinai with the second Tablets. Thus, on the first Yom Kippur (approximately 3,500 years ago), the Israelites succeeded to atone for their sins and renegotiate their covenant with God.
