Kabbalah for Exodus 32:4
וַיִּקַּ֣ח מִיָּדָ֗ם וַיָּ֤צַר אֹתוֹ֙ בַּחֶ֔רֶט וַֽיַּעֲשֵׂ֖הוּ עֵ֣גֶל מַסֵּכָ֑ה וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ אֵ֤לֶּה אֱלֹהֶ֙יךָ֙ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל אֲשֶׁ֥ר הֶעֱל֖וּךָ מֵאֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃
And he received it at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, and made it a molten calf; and they said: ‘This is thy god, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.’
Zohar
Another explanation for: "These are the generations of the heaven..." (Beresheet 2:4) - "These" refers to those about whom it is written: "These are your Elohim, O Yisrael" (Shemot 32:4). Thus, on the day when (Hashem), shall exterminate these, (meaning the sin of the calf) it will be as it was on the day the Holy One, blessed be He, created the heaven and the earth. As it is written, "In the day that Hashem Elohim made the earth and the heavens" (Beresheet 2:4). At that time, the Holy One, blessed be He, will be together with His Shechinah and the world will be renewed, as it is written: "For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make..." (Isaiah 66:22). This is "In the day...made".
