This was God's response after the Israelites worshiped the golden calf while Moses was on Mount Sinai receiving the Ten Commandments. Moses had interceded for the people, asking God to forgive them or blot his own name from God's book instead. God's reply emphasizes individual accountability - each person bears responsibility for their own sins.
