Exodus 32:29-31

New Century Version

²⁹ Then Moses said, “Today you have been given for service to the Lord. You were willing to kill your own sons and brothers, and God has blessed you for this.”

³⁰ The next day Moses told the people, “You have done a terrible sin. But now I will go up to the Lord. Maybe I can do something so your sins will be removed.” ³¹ So Moses went back to the Lord and said, “How terribly these people have sinned! They have made for themselves gods from gold.
