Exodus 32:32-34

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

³² But now, if you will only forgive their sin—but if not, blot me out of the book that you have written.’ ³³ But the Lord said to Moses, ‘Whoever has sinned against me I will blot out of my book. ³⁴ But now go, lead the people to the place about which I have spoken to you; see, my angel shall go in front of you. Nevertheless, when the day comes for punishment, I will punish them for their sin.’
