Numbers 14:13-19 And Moses said to the Lord, So Egypt shall hear, for thou hast brought up this people from them by thy might.

Brenton⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ And Moses said to the Lord, So Egypt shall hear, for thou hast brought up this people from them by thy might. ¹⁴ Moreover all the dwellers upon this land have heard that thou art Lord in the midst of this people, who, O Lord, art seen by them face to face, and thy cloud rests upon them, and thou goest before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, and by night in a pillar of fire. ¹⁵ And if thou shalt destroy this nation as one man; then all the nations that have heard thy name shall speak, saying, ¹⁶ Because the Lord could not bring this people into the land which he sware to them, he has overthrown them in the wilderness. ¹⁷ And now, O Lord, let thy strength be exalted, as thou spakest, saying, ¹⁸ The Lord is long-suffering and merciful, and true, removing transgressions and iniquities and sins, and he will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the sins of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation. ¹⁹ Forgive this people their sin according to thy great mercy, as thou wast favourable to them from Egypt until now.
