Numbers 14:13-19 - Moses Intercedes For The People
13 And Moses will say to Jehovah, And the Egyptians heard, for thou didst bring up with thy strength this people from the midst of them; 14 And they will say to those dwelling upon this land; they heard that thou Jehovah art in the midst of this people who wert seen eye to eye; thou Jehovah and thy cloud stood over them, and in a pillar of cloud thou goest before them by day, and in a pillar of fire by night. 15 And didst thou kill this people as one man, and the nations spake who heard thy fame, saying, 16 Because Jehovah will not be able to bring in this people to the land which he sware to them, he will slay them in the desert
17 And now shall the strength of the Lord be great, as thou spakest, saying, 18 Jehovah, slow to anger and of great kindness, lifting up iniquity and transgression and cleansing, will not cleanse; striking the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons, upon the third, and upon the fourth. 19 Forgive now the sin of this people according to thy great kindness, and as thou didst lift up to this people, and even till now.
