Exodus 32:30-32

New International Reader's Version

³⁰ The next day Moses said to the people, “You have committed a terrible sin. But now I will go up to the Lord. Maybe if I pray to him, he will forgive your sin.”

³¹ So Moses went back to the Lord. He said, “These people have committed a terrible sin. They have made a god out of gold for themselves. ³² Now please forgive their sin. But if you won’t, then erase my name out of the book you have written.”
