Moses confronts the people with their great sin. While they are in chaos he calls out for those who are on God's side and the Levites come to his side. We make a mistake when we ask God to come on our side and bless our plans. As those who have been redeemed it should always be, Lord, I'm on your side. Not my will but yours. Moses then goes to God seeking to intercede and make atonement for the people. Even willing to have his own name blotted out of the book of life in order for the people to be saved. God reminds him that those who are blotted out of the Book of Life is the domain of God alone. Even when God forgives us of our sins it doesn't mean there aren't still serious consequences and Israel is about to experience those soon.
