The purpose of this article is to analyze the masculinity of the biblical figure Moses in relation to the golden calf in Exodus 32. The prophet has been used as a model of biblical masculinity based on criteria such as violence, persuasive ability, his relationship to women, and physical disability. However, no gender construction derived from his interaction with the animal idol has been considered. In the context of the intersection of “animal studies” and “masculinity studies,” this article proposes the conceptualization of a biblical “zoomasculinity” linked to the prophet. Cohabitation with the theriomorphic statue allows Moses to embody diverse alternative masculinities that culminate in his animalization and identification with the golden calf.

冲突中的动物性和圣经中的男性气质：摩西和金牛犊（出埃及记 32）

这篇文章的目的是分析出埃及记 32 中与金牛犊有关的圣经人物摩西的男子气概。根据暴力、说服能力、他与女性的关系等标准，先知被用作圣经男子气概的模型，和身体残疾。然而，没有考虑到他与动物偶像的互动所产生的性别建构。在“动物研究”和“男性气质研究”交叉的背景下，本文提出了与先知相关的圣经“动物男性气质”的概念化。与拟人化雕像的同居让摩西体现了多样化的另类男性气质，在他的动物化和对金牛犊的认同中达到高潮。
