31 And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.

32 Yet now, if thou wilt, forgive their sin: and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.

11 And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp; but his servant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle. 33 And the LORD said unto Moses, 12 T And Moses said unto the LORD, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this will I blot out of my book. people and thou hast not let me know 34 Therefore now go, lead the people whom thou wilt send with me.

35 And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the calf which Aaron made.

17 And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.
