28 The sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.
29 Moses said, 'Consecrate yourselves today to Yahweh, yes, every man against his son, and against his brother; that he may bestow on you a blessing this day.'
30 It happened on the next day, that Moses said to the people, 'You have sinned a great sin. Now I will go up to Yahweh. Perhaps I shall make atonement for your sin.'
31 Moses returned to Yahweh, and said, 'Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made themselves gods of gold.
32 Yet now, if you will, forgive their sin-- and if not, please blot me out of your book which you have written.'
