30. And the next day Moses said to the people, “You have sinned a great sin. And now I will go up to Yahweh. Perhaps I can make atonement for your sin.”
31. And Moses returned to Yahweh, and he said, “Alas, this people has sinned a great sin and made for themselves gods of gold.
32. And now if you will forgive their sin—and if not, please blot me from your scroll that you have written.”
33. And Yahweh said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me I will blot him from my scroll.
34. And now go, lead the people to where I spoke to you. Look, my angel will go before you, and on the day when I punish I will punish them for their sin.”
35. And Yahweh afflicted the people because they had made the bull calf that Aaron had made.
