31. So Moses returned to the Lord and said, “Ah, this people has committed a grave sin in making a god of gold for themselves!
32. Now if you would only forgive their sin! But if you will not, then blot me out of the book that you have written.”
33. The Lord answered Moses: Only the one who has sinned against me will I blot out of my book.
34. Now, go and lead the people where I have told you. See, my angel will go before you. When it is time for me to punish, I will punish them for their sin.
