11 E suplicou Moisés ao SENHOR seu Deus, e disse: SENHOR, por que a tua ira se acende contra o teu povo, que tiraste da terra do Egito com grande poder, e com mão forte?

12 Por que falariam os egípcios e diriam: Para mal os tirou, para matá-los nos montes, e para destruí-los da face da terra? Desvia-te da tua ardente ira, e arrepende-te deste mal contra o teu povo.

13 Lembra-te de Abraão, Isaque e Israel, teus servos, aos quais juraste por ti mesmo e lhes disseste: Multiplicarei a vossa semente como as estrelas do céu, e toda esta terra de que falei darei à vossa semente, e eles a herdarão para sempre.

14 E o SENHOR desistiu do mal que tinha pensado fazer ao seu povo.

11 And Moses prayed to the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why does Your wrath become hot against Your people whom You have brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?

12 Why should the Egyptians speak and say, He brought them out for harm, to kill them in the mountains and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from Your fierce wrath, and be moved to pity as to this evil against Your people.

13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Your servants, to whom You swore by Your own self, and said to them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give to your seed, and they shall inherit [it] forever.

14 And the LORD was moved to pity as to the evil which He spoke of doing to His people.
