Commentary on Exodus 32:21
Moses confronts Aaron with מֶה־עָשָׂה לְךָ הָעָם הַזֶּה (meh-asah lecha ha'am hazeh, What did this people do to you?) suggesting the people pressured Aaron—but leaders are accountable regardless of pressure. The charge כִּי־הֵבֵאתָ עָלָיו חֲטָאָה גְדֹלָה (ki-heveta alav chata'ah gedolah, that you have brought upon it a great sin) uses the adjective גְדֹלָה (gedolah, great) to emphasize the sin's enormity. Moses holds Aaron directly responsible despite popular demand, teaching that spiritual leaders cannot excuse compromise by blaming followers.
