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.
