Surah Al-A'raaf
And the people of Moses made, after [his departure], from their ornaments a calf - an image having a lowing sound. Did they not see that it could neither speak to them nor guide them to a way? They took it [for worship], and they were wrongdoers.﴿148﴾

Simplified Tafsir
واتخذ قوم موسى من بعد ما فارقهم ماضيًا لمناجاة ربه معبودًا مِن ذهبهم عِجلا جسدًا بلا روح، له صوت، ألم يعلموا أنه لا يكلمهم، ولا يرشدهم إلى خير؟ أَقْدَمُوا على ما أقدموا عليه من هذا الأمر الشنيع، وكانوا ظالمين لأنفسهم واضعين الشيء في غير موضعه.
