certain Holy days and feasts as part of their worship toward God. They were required
under penalty to keep the Sabbath. They were required under the law to sacrifice
for their sins. All of these things are in stark contrast to the "dispensation

forgive their sin --; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which
thou hast written."(Exodus 32:32) We also find the answer God gave to this prayer:
"And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot
out of my book." (Exodus 32:33) prayer:
