Exodus 32:30-32

Living Bible

³⁰ The next day Moses said to the people, “You have sinned a great sin, but I will return to the Lord on the mountain—perhaps I will be able to obtain his forgiveness for you.”

³¹ So Moses returned to the Lord and said, “Oh, these people have sinned a great sin and have made themselves gods of gold. ³² Yet now if you will only forgive their sin—and if not, then blot me out of the book you have written.”^[a]
