Exodus 32:28-30

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁸ And the sons of Levi did according to the words of Moses, and there were slain that day about three and twenty thousand men.

²⁹ And Moses said: You have consecrated your hands this day to the Lord, every man in his son and in his brother, that a blessing may be given to you.

³⁰ And when the next day was come, Moses spoke to the people: You have sinned a very great sin: I will go up to the Lord, if by any means I may be able to entreat him for your crime.
