Exodus 32:31-34

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.

34Now go! Lead the Israelites to the place that I have told you about. My angel will go in front of you. But on the day for punishment, I will certainly punish them for their sin.’
