32:30 The next day Moses said to the people, 1 “You have committed a very serious sin, 2 but now I will go up to the Lord – perhaps I can make atonement 3 on behalf of your sin.”
32:31 So Moses returned to the Lord and said, “Alas, this people has committed a very serious sin, 4 and they have made for themselves gods of gold. 32:32 But now, if you will forgive their sin…, 5 but if not, wipe me out 6 from your book that you have written.” 7 32:33 The Lord said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me – that person I will wipe out of my book. 32:34 So now go, lead the people to the place I have spoken to you about. See, 8 my angel will go before you. But on the day that I punish, I will indeed punish them for their sin.” 9
32:35 And the Lord sent a plague on the people because they had made the calf 10 – the one Aaron made. 11
