Exodus 32:30 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 32:30

28 So the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses. And about three thousand men of the people fell that day.

29 ^aThen Moses said,¹ “Consecrate yourselves today to the Lord, that He may bestow on you a blessing this day, for every man has opposed his son and his brother.”

30 Now it came to pass on the next day that Moses said to the people, ^a“You have committed a great sin. So now I will go up to the Lord; ^bperhaps I can ^cmake atonement for your sin.”

31 Then Moses ^areturned to the Lord and said, “Oh, these people have committed a great sin, and have ^bmade for themselves a god of gold!

32 Yet now, if You will forgive their sin—but if not, I pray, ^ablot me ^bout of Your book which You have written.”

33 And the Lord said to Moses, ^a“Whoever has sinned against Me, I will ^bblot him out of My book.

34 Now therefore, go, lead the people to the place of which I have ^aspoken to you. ^bBehold, My Angel shall go before you. Nevertheless, ^cin the day when I visit for punishment, I will ^dvisit punishment upon them for their sin.”

35 So the Lord plagued the people because of ^awhat they did with the calf which Aaron made.
