Why should these people die?

Exodus 32:27 "Thus says the lord, the god of Israel, 'Put your sword on your side, each of you! Go back and forth from gate to gate throughout the camp, and each of you kill your brother, your friend, and your neighbor.'"

That's terrible I could never kill my sister, or edrahsor! Even if God told me to.


Exodus 32:28 "The sons of Levi did as Moses commanded, and about three thousand of the people fell on that day."

They did brake a commandment by worshiping the gold bull, but they weren't driven by wicked ways, they just couldn't wait any longer for Moses to get the laws from God. Their intentions were not evil and they don't deserve to be killed.

I mean, how do you know that your neighbor or friend was also participating in this idol worship? It seemed like a random killing of people. It would be one thing if God targeted only the idol worshipers. It's also not fair that the SONS of Levi get to be spared (also sexist).
