Why did Moses tell God to blot his name out of the Bible?

The bible says in Revelation 3:5 that those who are going heaven are those whose name is in the book of life. God had recently brought the Israelites out of over 400 years of slavery (Exodus 1-12) and had also revealed His majesty to them when He promulagated His eternal Law on Mt Sinai (Exodus 20). God had called Moses to come and dwell with Him and despite Moses only being away for less than 40 days the Israelites asked Aaron to make them another God (Exodus 32). God was justifiably upset and for the greater good of the multitude (Eccl 8:11) decided to punish them. Moses was basically saying to God "blot out my existence- I would prefer not to go heaven than to see these people that I love perish". God who I believe wanted Moses to interceed for His people decided not to grant Moses request but he mercifully did not destroy all the guilty people. Moses did not want the people that he loves to die and that is why he asked for God to blot his name out and spare the people (Exodus 32:31-33).


What was god called in the Old Testament?

If by 'people' in the old testament, you mean the Jewish people, they would have called God by many descriptive terms, like Elohim (Lord of Hosts), or El Shaddai (God Almighty) among others, and they would only use the sacred name of God as revealed by God Himself in written form in the Scriptures, usually transliterated into Roman form as YHWH, with a close approximation of pronunciation usually rendered as 'Yahweh', which later became 'Jehovah' in the West due to some bad linguistic work by the early Christians. The name YHWH comes from the Biblical account of God revealing Himself to Moses as the God of his forefathers, namely, "I am that I am" I believe it is still Jewish tradition to never speak this name aloud, instead substituting another name like Elohim when reading from the Torah. If you were asking what other (non-Israelite) people from that time called God I suppose that would be dependent on which deity they were referring to... Although I believe the generic term 'Baal', meaning 'Lord' was used as a prefix for most.
