Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Harun prohibits them from worship of Calf and the Persistence of the Children of Israel in doing soAllah, the Exalted, informs of Harun's attempt to prohibit them from worshipping the calf and his telling them that this was only a test for them. He told them that their Lord was the Most Beneficent, Who created everything and decreed for everything its just measure. He is the Owner of the Mighty Throne, the One Who does whatever He wants.
