Context of Numbers 14:19
17But now, I pray that you will show how powerful you are. You yourself have said, 18“The Lord does not quickly become angry. His faithful love for his people continues for ever. He forgives people when they turn against him and they do bad things. But if someone is guilty, he surely punishes them. And he punishes their children, their grandchildren and their grandchildren's children.” So please forgive the very bad thing that these people have done. Do that because your faithful love is so great. You have forgiven these people since they left Egypt until now. So please be kind and forgive them again now.’ 20Then the Lord said, ‘I have forgiven them as you asked me to do. 21As surely as I live, and all the earth will be full of my glory, I tell you this.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 11-19Verses 11-19 Moses made humble intercession for Israel. Herein he was a type of Christ, who prayed for those that despitefully used him.
