Numbers 14:11-21

LEB(i) 11 And Yahweh said to Moses, "How long until this people will despise me, and how long until they will not believe in me, and in all the signs that I have done in their* midst? 12 I will strike them* with disease, and I will dispossess them;* I will make you into a greater and stronger nation than them."* 13 And Moses said to Yahweh, "Then the Egyptians will hear that you brought up this people from their* midst in your power, 14 and they will tell it* to the inhabitants of this land. They heard that you, Yahweh, are in the midst of this people, that you are seen eye to eye, and your cloud is standing over them, and in a column of cloud you go before them by day and in a column of fire at night. 15 But if you destroy this people all at once,* the nations that will have heard your message will say, 16 'Yahweh was unable to bring this people in the land that he swore by an oath, and he slaughtered them in the desert.' 17 But now, please, let the power of my Lord be great, just has you spoke, 18 'Yahweh is slow to anger* and great of loyal love, forgiving* sin and rebellion; but surely he leaves nothing unpunished, visiting the sin of the fathers on the sons to the third and fourth generations.' 19 Please forgive the sin of this people according to the greatness of your loyal love, just as you forgave* this people, from Egypt until now." 20 Yahweh said, "I have forgiven them according to your word; 21 but as I am alive, the glory of Yahweh will fill all the earth.
