Exodus 32:30-35 NIV
"The next day Moses said to the people, 'You have committed a great sin. But now I will go up to the Lord; perhaps I can make atonement for your sin.' So Moses went back to the Lord and said, 'Oh, what a great sin these people have committed! They have made themselves gods of gold. But now, please forgive their sin- but if not, then blot me out of the book You have written.' The Lord replied to Moses, 'Whoever has sinned against Me I will blot out of My book. Now go, lead the people to the place I spoke of, and My angel will go before you. However, when the time comes for Me to punish, I will punish them for their sin.' And the Lord struck the people with a plague because of what they did with the calf Aaron had made."
