Exodus 32:30-32

Good News Translation

³⁰ The next day Moses said to the people, “You have committed a terrible sin. But now I will again go up the mountain to the Lord; perhaps I can obtain forgiveness for your sin.” ³¹ Moses then returned to the Lord and said, “These people have committed a terrible sin. They have made a god out of gold and worshiped it. ^32 (A)Please forgive their sin; but if you won't, then remove my name from the book in which you have written the names of your people.”
