Exodus 32:34

32 Yet now, if You would only forgive their sin.... But if not, please blot me out of the book that You have written.”

33 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 described. Behold, My angel shall go before you. But on the day I settle accounts, I will punish them for their sin.”

35 And the LORD sent a plague on the people because of what they had done with the calf that Aaron had made.
