Kabbalah for Exodus 32:10
וְעַתָּה֙ הַנִּ֣יחָה לִּ֔י וְיִֽחַר־אַפִּ֥י בָהֶ֖ם וַאֲכַלֵּ֑ם וְאֶֽעֱשֶׂ֥ה אוֹתְךָ֖ לְג֥וֹי גָּדֽוֹל׃
Now therefore let Me alone, that My wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them; and I will make of thee a great nation.’
Zohar
Come and behold: What is the difference between Moses and other people? When the holy One, blessed be He, said to Moses, "Now therefore let Me alone...and I will make you a great nation" (Shemot 32:10), Moses immediately asked, 'Shall I abandon Yisrael, forget their punishment, (and not ask for mercy for them?) The world now shall say that I have killed Yisrael, and that I did the same as Noah had done before me.'
