Numbers 14:17-20

¹⁷therefore the strength of the Lord be magnified, or made great, as thou hast sworn,

¹⁸The Lord is patient, and of much mercy, doing away wickedness and trespasses, and leaving no man unguilty, which visitest the sins of fathers into sons into the third and fourth generation,

¹⁹I beseech thee, forgive thou the sin of this thy people, after the greatness of thy mercy, as thou were merciful to them going out of Egypt till to this place.

²⁰And the Lord said, I have forgiven to them, by thy word.
