Moses Begs The Lord To Spare The People

³³ But the Lord said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My book [not you]. ³⁴ But now go, lead the people [to the place] where I have told you. Behold, My Angel shall go before you; nevertheless, in the day when I punish, I will punish them for their sin!” ³⁵ So the Lord struck the people with a plague, because of what they had done with the calf which Aaron had made [for them].
