Exodus 32:30-35 - Moses Begs The Lord To Spare The People
30 And it came to pass, on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye, have sinned a great sin, - Now, therefore, I must go up unto Yahweh, Peradventure, I may make a propitiatory-covering for your sin.
31 So Moses returned unto Yahweh, and said, - Oh now, this people hath sinned a great sin, and they have made for themselves - gods of gold. 32 Now, therefore, if thou wilt forgive their sin, -- but if not, blot me I pray thee out of thy book, which thou hast written,
33 And Yahweh said unto Moses, - Him who hath sinned against me, must I blot out of my book. 34 Now, therefore, go lead the people to the place of which I spake to thee, lo! a my messenger, shall go before thee, - But, in the day when I do visit, then wilt I visit upon them their sin. 35 And Yahweh plagued the people, - for what they had done with the calf, which Aaron made.
