NSB(i)
13 Moses said to Jehovah: »You brought these people out of Egypt by your power. When the Egyptians hear what you have done to your people,
14 they will tell it to the people who live in this land. These people have already heard that you, Jehovah, are with us, that you appear in plain sight when your cloud stops over us, and that you go before us in a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.
15 »But if you kill all these people at the same time the nations who have heard these reports about you will say,
16 »Jehovah was not able to bring these people into the land he promised them, so he slaughtered them in the desert.
