Exodus 32:30 BBE

²⁸  And the sons of Levi did as Moses said; and about three thousand of the people were put to death that day.

²⁹  And Moses said, You have made yourselves priests to the Lord this day; for every one of you has made the offering of his son and his brother; the blessing of the Lord is on you this day.

³⁰  And on the day after, Moses said to the people, Great has been your sin: but I will go up to the Lord, and see if I may get forgiveness for your sin.

³¹  Then Moses went back to the Lord and said, This people has done a great sin, making themselves a god of gold;

³²  But now, if you will give them forgiveness--but if not, let my name be taken out of your book.
