Numbers 14:17-20

¹⁷And now, I beseech thee, let the greatness of the power of the Lord be made manifest, as thou hast spoken, saying,

¹⁸The Eternal is long-suffering, and abundant in beneficence, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation.

¹⁹Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people, according to the greatness of thy beneficence, and as thou hast been indulgent to this people, from Egypt even until hitherto.

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