Numbers 14:17-20

¹⁷Let their the strength of the Lord be magnified, as thou hast sworn, saying:

¹⁸The Lord is patient and full of mercy, taking away iniquity and wickedness, and leaving no man clear, who visitest the sins of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.

¹⁹Forgive, I beseech thee, the sins of this people, according to the greatness of thy mercy, as thou hast been merciful to them from their going out of Egypt unto this place.

²⁰And the Lord said: I have forgiven according to thy word.
