29. Then Moses had said, Today you have consecrated yourselves to the Lord, for each one has consecrated in his son and in his brother, that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.
30. And it came to pass on the next day that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin, but now I will go up unto the Lord; peradventure I shall make reconciliation for your sin.
31. Then Moses returned unto the Lord and said, I pray thee, for, this people who have sinned a great sin and have made themselves gods of gold,
32. that thou wilt forgive their sin; and if not, blot me now out of thy book which thou hast written.
33. And the Lord answered unto Moses, Whoever has sinned against me, this one will I blot out of my book.
34. Therefore go now, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee; behold, my Angel shall go before thee; nevertheless in the day of my visitation I will visit their sin in them.
35. And the Lord smote the people because they had made the calf, which Aaron formed.
