On this verse

Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out - As if the Divine Being had said: “All my conduct is regulated by infinite justice and righteousness: in no case shall the innocent ever suffer for the guilty. That no man may transgress through ignorance, I have given you my law, and thus published my covenant; the people themselves have acknowledged its justice and equity, and have voluntarily ratified it.

Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832evangelical

Whosoever hath sinned, him will I blot out of my book - The soul that sins shall die, and not the innocent for the guilty.

John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament, 1765evangelical

Those are angry and sin not, that are angry at sin only. Moses shewed himself angry, both by breaking the tables, and burning the calf, that he might by these expressions of a strong passion awaken the people to a sense of the greatness of their sin.
