Context of Exodus 32:33
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.’ The 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.’ 35The Lord did send a bad disease to punish the people. He punished them because they had caused Aaron to make an image of a calf.

The great evil of sin appears in the price of pardon. Moses pleads with God for mercy; he came not to make excuses, but to make atonement.
