Exodus 32:30-32 ▼

30 Then the next day Moses said to the people, “You have committed a great sin. Now I will go up to the LORD; perhaps I can make atonement for your sin.”

31 So Moses returned to the LORD, and said, “Oh, these people have committed a great sin [against You], and have made themselves a god of gold.

32 Yet now, if You will, forgive their sin—and if not, please blot me out of Your book which You have written (kill me)!”
