Numbers 14:16-20

¹⁶Because there was not strength (enough) before the Lord to bring this people into the land which He covenanted to them, He hath killed them in the desert.

¹⁷And now I beseech, let power be magnified from before the Lord, as Thou hast thus spoken, saying:

¹⁸The Lord is far from anger, and great in performing goodness and truth: forgiving iniquity and rebellion and sins, pardoning them who return unto His law: but acquitting not them who will not, turn, (but) visiting the sins of the fathers upon the rebellious children unto the third and unto the fourth generation.

¹⁹Pardon, I beseech, the sins of this people according to the amplitude of Thy goodness, and as Thou hast forgiven this people from Mizraim until now.

²⁰And the Lord said, I have pardoned according to thy word.
