Numbers 14:17-20

¹⁷And now, O Lord, let your strength be exalted, as you spoke, saying,

¹⁸The Lord is longsuffering and merciful, and true, removing transgressions and iniquities and sins, and he will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the sins of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation.

¹⁹Forgive this people their sin according to your great mercy, as you were favourable to them from Egypt until now.

²⁰And the Lord said to Moses, I am gracious to them according to your word.
