Deuteronomy 9:25-29 - Moses' Plea On Behalf Of The Lord's Reputation

²⁵ And I shall fall down before Jehovah forty days and forty nights, as I fell down; for Jehovah said to destroy you. ²⁶ And I shall pray to Jehovah, and say, Lord Jehovah, thou wilt not destroy thy people and thine inheritance which thou didst redeem in thy greatness, whom thou broughtest out of Egypt with a strong hand. ²⁷ Remember thy servants, for Abraham, for Isaak, and for Jacob, thou wilt not look to the stubbornness of this people, and to its wickedness, and to its sin: ²⁸ Lest they of the land where thou broughtest us from there shall say, For Jehovah was not able to bring them in to the land which he spake to them; and for his hating them he brought them out to destroy them in the desert ²⁹ And they are thy people and thine inheritance whom thou broughtest out by thy great strength and by thine extended arm.
