32 Now if you would only forgive their sin. But if not, please erase me from the book you have written.”l

33 The Lord replied to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me I will erase from my book.m 34 Now go, lead the people to the place I told you about; see, my angel will go before you. But on the day I settle accounts, I will hold them accountable for their sin.”n 35 And the Lord inflicted a plague on the people for what they did with the calf Aaron had made.
