New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Exodus 32
31 Then Moses returned to the Lord, and said, "Alas, this people has committed a great sin, and they have made a god of gold for themselves.
32 But now, if You will, forgive their sin-and if not, please blot me out from Your book which You have written!"
33 The Lord said to Moses, "Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My book.
34 But go now, lead the people where I told you. Behold, My angel shall go before you; nevertheless in the day when I punish, I will punish them for their sin."
35 Then the Lord smote the people, because of what they did with the calf which Aaron had made.
Exodus 33
1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, "Depart, go up from here, you and the people whom you have brought up from the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, ’To your descendants I will give it.’
2 I will send an angel before you and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite and the Jebusite.
3 Go up to a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up in your midst, because you are an obstinate people, and I might destroy you on the way."
4 When the people heard this sad word, they went into mourning, and none of them put on his ornaments.
5 For the Lord had said to Moses, "Say to the sons of Israel, ’You are an obstinate people; should I go up in your midst for one moment, I would destroy you. Now therefore, put off your ornaments from you, that I may know what I shall do with you.’"
6 So the sons of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments, from Mount Horeb onward.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
