9 And the Lord said to Moses, "I have seen this people, and behold, ch. 33:3,5;34:9;Deut. 9:6,13;31:27;2 Chr. 30:8;Acts 7:51;[Isa. 48:4]it is a stiff-necked people. 10 Now therefore Deut. 9:14let me alone, that ch. 22:24my wrath may burn hot against them and ch. 33:3I may consume them, in order that Num. 14:12I may make a great nation of you."
11 But Deut. 9:18,26-29;Ps. 106:23;[Ps. 74:1,2]Moses implored the Lord his God and said, "O Lord, why does your wrath burn hot against your people, whom you have brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand? 12 [Deut. 32:27]; See Num. 14:13-16Why should the Egyptians say, ‘With evil intent did he bring them out, to kill them in the mountains and to consume them from the face of the earth’? Turn from your burning anger and See ver. 14relent from this disaster against your people.
