32:30 The next day Moses said to the people, 1 “You have committed a very serious sin, 2 but now I will go up to the Lord – perhaps I can make atonement 3 on behalf of your sin.”
1 tn Heb “and it was on the morrow and Moses said to the people.”
2 tn The text uses a cognate accusative: “you have sinned a great sin.”
3 tn The form אֲכַפְּרָה (’akhappÿrah) is a Piel cohortative/imperfect. Here with only a possibility of being successful, a potential imperfect nuance works best.
