31. And returning to the Lord, he said: I beseech thee: this people hath sinned a heinous sin, and they have made to themselves gods of gold: either forgive them this trespass,
32. Or if thou do not, strike me out of the book that thou hast written.
33. And the Lord answered him: He that hath sinned against me, him will I strike out of my book:
34. But go thou, and lead this people whither I have told thee: my angel shall go before thee. And I in the day of revenge will visit this sin also of theirs.
35. The Lord therefore struck the people for the guilt on occasion of the calf which Aaron had made.
