Moses was on Mt. Sinai getting the Ten Commandments from God, when the Golden Calf was made at the base of the mountain by the recently freed people who got scared when they were left alone. It was Aaron, his brother the High Priest, that confessed to making the calf, and he said he did it because the people forced him to make it.
