Numbers 14:11-20

MSTC(i) 11 And the LORD said unto Moses, "How long shall this people rail upon me, and how long will it be, yer they believe me, for all my signs which I have showed among them? 12 I will smite them with the pestilence and destroy them, and will make of thee a greater nation and a mightier than they." 13 And Moses said unto the LORD, "Then the Egyptians shall hear it, for thou broughtest this people with thy might from among them. 14 And it will be told to the inhabiters of this land also, for they have heard likewise, that thou the LORD art among this people, and that thou art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them and that thou goest before them by day time in a pillar of cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night. 15 If thou shalt kill all this people as they were but one man then the nations which have heard the fame of thee, will speak, saying, 16 'Because the LORD was not able to bring in this people into the land which he swore unto them, therefore he slew them in the wilderness.' 17 So now let the power of my LORD be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying, 18 'The LORD is long yer he be angry, and full of mercy, and suffereth sin and trespass, and leaveth no man innocent, and visiteth the unrighteousness of the fathers upon the children, even upon the third and fourth generation.' 19 Be merciful I beseech ye therefore, unto the sin of this people according unto thy great mercy, and according as thou hast forgiven this people from Egypt even unto this place." 20 And the LORD said, "I have forgiven it, according to thy request.
