Exodus 32:30-35 ▼

30 Now it happened on the next day, that Moses said to the people, “You yourselves have committed a great sin; but now I am going up to Yahweh, perhaps I can make atonement for your sin.”

31 Then Moses returned to Yahweh and said, “Alas, this people has committed a great sin, and they have made gods of gold for themselves.

32 But now, if You will forgive their sin—but if not, please blot me out from Your book which You have written!”

33 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My book.

34 But now go, guide the people where I told you. Behold, My angel shall go before you; nevertheless in the day when I punish, I will punish them for their sin.”

35 Then Yahweh smote the people because of what they did with the calf which Aaron had made.
