Deuteronomy 9:18-29

18And I fellH5307 downH5307 before Jehovah, as at the firstH7223, fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915; I did neither eatH398 breadH3899 nor drinkH8354 waterH4325; because of all your sinH2398 which ye sinnedH2398, in doing that which was evilH7451 in the sight of Jehovah, to provokeH3707 him to angerH3707. 19For I was afraidH3025 of the angerH639 and hot displeasure, wherewith Jehovah was wroth against you to destroyH8045 you. But Jehovah hearkened unto me that timeH6471 alsoH1571. 20And Jehovah was veryH3966 angryH599 with AaronH175 to destroyH8045 him: and I prayedH6419 for AaronH175 alsoH1571 at the same timeH6256. 21And I tookH3947 your sinH2403, the calfH5695 which ye had madeH6213, and burnt it with fireH784, and stamped it, grindingH2912 it very small, until it was as fineH1854 as dustH6083: and I castH7993 the dustH6083 thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount.

22And at TaberahH8404, and at MassahH4532, and at Kibroth-hattaavahH6914, ye provoked Jehovah to wrath. 23And whenH834 Jehovah sentH7971 you from Kadesh-barneaH6947, sayingH559, GoH5927 up and possessH3423 the landH776 which I have givenH5414 you; then ye rebelledH4784 against the commandment of Jehovah your GodH430, and ye believedH539 him not, nor hearkened to his voiceH6963. 24Ye have beenH1961 rebelliousH4784 against Jehovah from the dayH3117 that I knewH3045 you.

25So I fellH5307 downH5307 before Jehovah the fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915 that I fellH5307 downH5307, because Jehovah had saidH559 he would destroyH8045 you. 26And I prayedH6419 unto Jehovah, and saidH559, O Lord Jehovah, destroyH7843 not thy peopleH5971 and thine inheritanceH5159, that thou hast redeemedH6299 through thy greatnessH1433, that thou hast broughtH3318 forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714 with a mightyH2389 handH3027. 27RememberH2142 thy servantsH5650, AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and JacobH3290; look not unto the stubbornness of this peopleH5971, nor to their wickednessH7562, nor to their sinH2403, 28lestH6435 the landH776 whence thou broughtest us out sayH559, Because Jehovah was not ableH3201 to bringH935 them into the landH776 which he promised unto them, and because he hated them, he hath broughtH935 them out to slay them in the wildernessH4057. 29Yet they are thy peopleH5971 and thine inheritanceH5159, which thou broughtest out by thy greatH1419 power and by thine outstretchedH5186 armH2220.
