Exodus 32:30-33

30On the next day, Moses said to the people, ‘You have done a great sin. But now I will go back up the mountain. I will speak to the Lord. Perhaps I can do something so that the Lord will forgive your sin.’

31So Moses returned to the Lord. He said to the Lord, ‘Please listen to me. These people have done a very great sin. They have made a gold idol to worship as their god.

32But now I ask you to forgive them for their sin. But if you will not do that, then please remove my name from your book.’

33The Lord answered Moses, ‘I will only remove the names of the people who have turned against me.
