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.

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 ¶ 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.
