Exodus 32:8-14

8They have quicklyH4118 turnedH5493 asideH5493 from the wayH1870 whichH834 I commandedH6680 them. 1They have madeH6213 for themselves a moltenH4541 calfH5695, and have worshipedH7812 it and 2have sacrificedH2076 to it and saidH559, ‘34ThisH428 is your godH430, O IsraelH3478, whoH834 broughtH5927 you up from the landH776 of EgyptH4714!’” 95The LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “I have seenH7200 thisH2088 peopleH5971, and beholdH2009, they are 67an obstinateH7186H6203 peopleH5971. 10NowH6258 then 8letH5117 Me aloneH5117, that My angerH639 may burnH2734 against them and that I may destroyH3615 them; and 9I will makeH6213 of you a greatH1419 nationH1471.”

11Then 10MosesH4872 entreatedH2470 the LordH3068 his GodH430, and saidH559, “O LordH3068, whyH4100 does Your angerH639 burnH2734 against Your peopleH5971 whomH834 You have broughtH3318 out from the landH776 of EgyptH4714 with greatH1419 powerH3581 and with a mightyH2389 handH3027? 12WhyH4100 should 11the EgyptiansH4714 speakH559, sayingH559, ‘With evilH7463 intent He broughtH3318 them out to killH2026 them in the mountainsH2022 and to destroyH3615 them from the faceH6440 of the earthH127’? TurnH7725 from Your burningH2740 angerH639 and changeH5162 Your mindH5162 aboutH5921 doing harmH7463 to Your peopleH5971. 13RememberH2142 AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and IsraelH3478, Your servantsH5650 to whomH834 You 12sworeH7650 by Yourself, and saidH1696 to them, ‘I will 13multiplyH7235 your 14descendantsH2233 as the starsH3556 of the heavensH8064, and 15allH3605 thisH2088 landH776 of whichH834 I have spokenH559 I will giveH5414 to your 16descendantsH2233, and they shall inheritH5157 it foreverH5769.’” 1417So the LordH3068 changedH5162 His mindH5162 aboutH5921 the harmH7463 whichH834 He saidH1696 He would doH6213 to His peopleH5971.
