Exodus 32:31

The Golden Calf

30The next day Moses said to the people, “You have committed a great sin. Now I will go up to the LORD; perhaps I can make atonement for your sin.”31So Moses returned to the LORD and said, “Oh, what a great sin these people have committed! They have made gods of gold for themselves.32Yet now, if You would only forgive their sin.... But if not, please blot me out of the book that You have written.”
