Exodus 32:30-34

Expanded Bible

³⁰ The next day Moses told the people, “You have ·done [^Lsinned] a terrible sin. But now I will go up to the Lord. Maybe I can ·do something so your sins will be removed [make atonement for your sin].” ³¹ So Moses went back to the Lord and said, “How terribly these people have sinned! They have made for themselves ·gods [or a god; 32:4] from gold. ³² Now, please forgive them of this sin. If you will not, then ·erase [blot out] my name from the book in which you have written the names of your people.”

³³ But the Lord told Moses, “I will ·erase [blot out] from my book the names of the people who sin against me. ³⁴ So now, go. Lead the people where I have told you, and my ·angel [messenger] will ·lead [^Lgo in front of] you. When the time comes to punish, I will punish them for their sin.”
