Exodus 32:28-35 Modern English Version (MEV)

28. The Levites did according to the word of Moses, and about three thousand men of the people died that day.

29. For Moses had said, “Consecrate yourselves today to the Lord, that He may bestow a blessing on you this day, for every man opposes his son and his brother.”

30. On the next day Moses said to the people, “You have committed a great sin, and now I will go up to the Lord. Perhaps I can make atonement for your sin.”

31. Then Moses returned to the Lord and said, “Oh, this people has committed a great sin and have made a god of gold for themselves.

32. Yet now, if You will, forgive their sin, but if not, I pray, blot me out of Your book which You have written.”

33. Then the Lord said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My book.

34. So go now, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to you. Indeed, My angel will go before you. Nevertheless in the day when I punish, I will indeed punish them for their sin.”

35. And the Lord plagued the people because they had made the calf, the one that Aaron made.
