Whoever has sinned against me I will blot out of my book

Exodus 32:15-35

When Moses approached the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, his anger burned and he threw the tablets out of his hands, breaking them to pieces at the foot of the mountain. And he took the calf the people had made and burned it in the fire; then he ground it to powder, scattered it on the water and made the Israelites drink it.

Moses saw that the people were running wild and that Aaron had let them get out of control and so become a laughingstock to their enemies. So he stood at the entrance to the camp and said, “Whoever is for the Lord, come to me.” And all the Levites rallied to him.

Then he said to them, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘Each man strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbor.’” The Levites did as Moses commanded, and that day about three thousand of the people died. Then Moses said, “You have been set apart to the Lord today, for you were against your own sons and brothers, and he has blessed you this day.”

The next day Moses said to the people, “You have committed a great sin. But now I will go up to the Lord; perhaps I can make atonement for your sin.”

So Moses went back to the Lord and said, “Oh, what a great sin these people have committed! They have made themselves gods of gold. But now, please forgive their sin—but if not, then blot me out of the book you have written.”

The Lord replied to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me I will blot out of my book. Now go, lead the people to the place I spoke of, and my angel will go before you. However, when the time comes for me to punish, I will punish them for their sin.”

And the Lord struck the people with a plague because of what they did with the calf Aaron had made.

Death is the penalty for those who break the covenant - but Israel is saved by the selfless prayer of Moses. The broken tablets dramatically proclaim the broken covenant. Such sin cannot go wholly unpunished.

Why?

The broken tablet proclaims the broken covenant between Israelites and the Lord, so whoever has sinned against the Lord will be blot out my God's book. 

The plague comes because of their sin to Israelite, so as the COVID-19 came for people's sin. All of us have to return to the Lord and keep the word of the Lord with pure heart and mind.

Mose is full of love and he is the great leader of Israel, he prayed to the Lord for his people, even asked the Lord to forgive their sin - but if not, then blot me out of the book you have written.

How?

We won't worship any idol in the world, but something we might let our job, our work, our favorite electrical item, or some habits become our idol. May the Holy Spirit to remind me to keep the Lord be on the highest in my life.
