17
And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,
18
The LORD is longsuffering*, and of greatmercy,forgivinginiquity and transgression, and by no meansclearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.
19
Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.
20
And the LORDsaid, I have pardoned according to thy word:
21
But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD.
22
Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted* me now these tentimes, and have not hearkened to my voice;
23
Surely they shall notsee the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:
24
But my servantCaleb,because he had anotherspirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.
25
(Now the Amalekites and the Canaanitesdwelt in the valley.) To morrowturn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Redsea.
26
And the LORDspake unto Moses and unto Aaron,saying,
27
How long shall I bear with this evilcongregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.
