So Moses said to the Lord, “Why have You been so hard on Your servant? And why have I not found favor in Your sight, that You have laid the burden of all this people on me?

So if You are going to deal thus with me, please kill me at once, if I have found favor in Your sight, and do not let me see my wretchedness.”

Now while the sons of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering wood on the sabbath day.

Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation;

Now please, you also stay here tonight, and I will find out what else the Lord will speak to me.”

So we have brought as an offering to the Lord what each man found, articles of gold, armlets and bracelets, signet rings, earrings and necklaces, to make atonement for ourselves before the Lord.”

They said, “If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants as a possession; do not take us across the Jordan.”

But if you will not do so, behold, you have sinned against the Lord, and be sure your sin will find you out.
