Exodus 32:30-32

New Century Version

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