Exodus 32:7-14

7Then the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, “GoH1980 1downH3381 at onceH3381, for your peopleH5971, whomH834 2you broughtH5927 upH5927 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714, have 3behavedH7843 corruptlyH7843. 8They have quicklyH4118 turnedH5493 asideH5493 from the wayH1870 whichH834 I commandedH6680 them. 4They have madeH6213 for themselves a castH4541 metalH4541 calfH5695, and have worshipedH2331 it and 5have sacrificedH2076 to it and saidH559, ‘67ThisH428 is your godH430, IsraelH3478, whoH834 broughtH5927 you upH5927 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714!’” 98Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “I have seenH7200 thisH2088 peopleH5971, and beholdH2009, they are 910an obstinateH7186H6203 peopleH5971. 10So nowH6258 11leaveH5117 Me aloneH5117, that My angerH639 may burnH2734 against them and that I may destroyH3615 them; and 12I will makeH6213 of you a greatH1419 nationH1471.”

11Then 13MosesH4872 pleadedH2470 with the LordH3068 his GodH430, and saidH559, “LordH3068, whyH4100 does Your angerH639 burnH2734 against Your peopleH5971 whomH834 You have broughtH3318 outH3318 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714 with greatH1419 powerH3581 and with a mightyH2389 handH3027? 12WhyH4100 should 14the EgyptiansH4714 talkH559, sayingH559, ‘With evilH7463 motives He broughtH3318 them outH3318, to killH2026 them on the mountainsH2022 and to destroyH3615 them from the faceH6440 of the earthH127’? TurnH7725 from Your burningH2740 angerH639 and relentH5162 of doing harmH7463 to Your peopleH5971. 13RememberH2142 AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and IsraelH3478, Your servantsH5650 to whomH834 You 15sworeH7650 by Yourself, and saidH1696 to them, ‘I will 16multiplyH7235 your 17descendantsH2233 as the starsH3556 of the heavensH8064, and 18allH3605 thisH2088 landH776 of whichH834 I have spokenH559 I will giveH5414 to your 19descendantsH2233, and they shall inheritH5157 it foreverH5769.’” 1420So the LordH3068 relentedH5162 of the harmH7463 whichH834 He saidH1696 He would doH6213 to His peopleH5971.
