Numbers 14:11-21

Rotherham(i) 11 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, How long must this people, despise me? And, how long can they not believe in me, in view of all the signs which I have done in their midst? 12 Let me smite them with pestilence, and disinherit them,––And make thee, into a nation greater and more mighty than they! 13 Then said Moses unto Yahweh,––So shall the Egyptians hear, For thou hast brought up, in thy might, this people, out of their midst; 14 And will tell it unto the inhabitants of this land: They have heard, That, thou, Yahweh, art in the midst of this people,––That, eye to eye, is he seen––thou, Yahweh. And, thy cloud, is standing over them, And, in a pillar of cloud, thou thyself, art going on before them by day, And, in a pillar of fire, by night. 15 As soon, therefore, as thou hast put to death this people, as one man, so soon will the nations who have heard thy fame speak, saying: 16 Because Yahweh, was not able, to bring in this people into the land which he had sworn unto them, therefore did he slay them in the desert. 17 Now, therefore, I beseech thee, let the might of My Lord, be magnified,––according as thou didst speak, saying: 18 Yahweh––slow to anger and great in lovingkindness, Forgiving iniquity and transgression: Though he will not leave, wholly unpunished, Visiting the iniquity of fathers upon sons, Upon a third generation, and upon a fourth. 19 Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people, According to the greatness of thy lovingkindness,––And according as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt, even thus far.
20 And Yahweh said, I have pardoned, according to thy word; 21 Nevertheless, as I, live,––and that all the earth may be filled with the glory of Yahweh,
