31. Moses returned to the Lord and said, “The people have committed a terrible sin. They have made a gold idol to be their god.
32. But I beg you to forgive them. If you don't, please wipe my name out of your book.”
33. The Lord replied, “I will wipe out of my book the name of everyone who has sinned against me.
34. Now take my people to the place I told you about, and my angel will lead you. But when the time comes, I will punish them for this sin.”
35. So the Lord punished the people of Israel with a terrible disease for talking Aaron into making the gold idol.
