Exodus 32:35
33 The LORD replied to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot out of My book.
34 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.”
And the LORD sent a plague on the people because of what they had done with the calf that Aaron had made.
