Numbers 14:13-19 - Moses Intercedes For The People

¹³ Then said Moses unto Yahweh, - So shall the Egyptians hear, For thou hast brought up. in thy might, this people out of their midst; ¹⁴ And will tell it unto the inhabitants of this land: They have heard, That, thou, Yahweh, art in the midst of this people, - That eye to eye, is he seen - thou, Yahweh, And thy cloud, is standing over them, And in a pillar of cloud, thou thyself, art going on before them by day, And in a pillar of fire, by night. ¹⁵ As soon, therefore, as thou hast put to death this people as one man, so soon will the nations who have heard thy fame speak saying: ¹⁶ Because Yahweh, was not able, to bring in this people into the land which he had sworn unto them, therefore did he slay them in the desert.

¹⁷ Now, therefore, I beseech thee let the might of My Lord, be magnified, - according as thou didst speak saying: ¹⁸ Yahweh - slow to anger and great in lovingkindness, Forgiving iniquity and transgression: Though he will not leave, wholly unpunished, Visiting the iniquity of fathers upon sons, Upon a third generation, and upon a fourth. ¹⁹ Pardon I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people, According to the greatness of thy lovingkindness, - And according as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even thus far.
