Numbers 14:13-20
13And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto YhwhH3068, Then the EgyptiansH4714 shall hearH8085 it, (for thou broughtest upH5927 this peopleH5971 in thy mightH3581 from amongH7130 them;) 14And they will tellH559 it to the inhabitantsH3427 of this landH776: for they have heardH8085 that thou YhwhH3068 art amongH7130 this peopleH5971, that thou YhwhH3068 art seenH7200 faceH5869 to faceH5869, and that thy cloudH6051 standethH5975 over them, and that thou goestH1980 beforeH6440 them, by day timeH3119 in a pillarH5982 of a cloudH6051, and in a pillarH5982 of fireH784 by nightH3915.
15Now if thou shalt killH4191 all this peopleH5971 as oneH259 manH376, then the nationsH1471 which have heardH8085 the fameH8088 of thee will speakH559, sayingH559, 16Because YhwhH3068 was notH1115 ableH3201 to bringH935 this peopleH5971 into the landH776 which he swareH7650 unto them, therefore he hath slainH7819 them in the wildernessH4057. 17And now, I beseech thee, let the powerH3581 of my LordH136 be greatH1431, accordingH834 as thou hast spokenH1696, sayingH559, 18YhwhH3068 is longsufferingH639H750, and of greatH7227 mercyH2617, forgivingH5375 iniquityH5771 and transgressionH6588, and by no meansH5352 clearingH5352 the guilty, visitingH6485 the iniquityH5771 of the fathersH1 upon the childrenH1121 unto the thirdH8029 and fourthH7256 generation. 19PardonH5545, I beseech thee, the iniquityH5771 of this peopleH5971 according unto the greatnessH1433 of thy mercyH2617, and as thou hast forgivenH5375 this peopleH5971, from EgyptH4714 even until nowH2008.1 20And YhwhH3068 saidH559, I have pardonedH5545 according to thy wordH1697:
