Numbers [In the desert] 14:15-19

¹⁵Now if you killed this people as one man, then the nations which have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the fame of you will speak, saying,

¹⁶‘Because Adonai was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness.’

¹⁷Now please let the power of the Lord be great, according as you have spoken, saying,

¹⁸‘Adonai is slow to anger, and abundant in cheshed ·loving-kindness·, forgiving iniquity and disobedience; and that will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation.’

¹⁹Please pardon the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of your cheshed ·loving-kindness·, and according as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt Abode of slavery even until now.”
