Exodus 32:32

Exodus 32:32

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.

blot me . . . out of thy book—an allusion to the registering of the living, and erasing the names of those who die. What warmth of affection did he evince for his brethren! How fully was he animated with the true spirit of a patriot, when he professed his willingness to die for them. But Christ actually died for His people (Romans 5:8).

Exodus 32:30-33

Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin—Moses labored to show the people the heinous nature of their sin, and to bring them to repentance. But not content with that, he hastened more earnestly to intercede for them.
