18 And I Ex. 34:28; Ps. 106:23fell down before the Lord, as at the first, forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all your sin which you committed in doing wickedly in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger. 19 Ex. 32:10, 11; Heb. 12:21For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure with which the Lord was angry with you, to destroy you. Ex. 32:14But the Lord listened to me at that time also.
25 Deut. 9:18"Thus I prostrated myself before the Lord; forty days and forty nights I kept prostrating myself, because the Lord had said He would destroy you. 26 Therefore I prayed to the Lord, and said: ‘O Lord God, do not destroy Your people and Deut. 32:9Your inheritance whom You have redeemed through Your greatness, whom You have brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
