2613 "Resist this temptation: you are being tested in this. Do not follow after the semi-Egyptian Samiri, but obey me." 2614 The Bible story makes Aaron the culprit, which is inconsistent with his office as the high priest of Allah and the right hand of Moses. See n. 1116 to
7:150. Our version is more consistent, and explains, through the example of the Samiri, the lingering influences of the Egyptian cult of Osiris the bull-god.
