Deuteronomy 9:26-28
v. 26-28: Moses pleaded with God on behalf of the people, reminding Him of His promises to their ancestors, such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He also pointed out that if God destroyed Israel, Egypt might mock Him, saying He brought the people out of Egypt only to destroy them. Despite these arguments, Moses acknowledged that Israel’s only hope was God’s grace, not their own goodness. This prayer highlights the importance of intercession and God’s mercy in sparing His people (Deuteronomy 9:26-28 a). v. 27: When Moses prayed, he could not find anything good in the people to mention before God. He could only appeal to God’s mercy and to His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Deuteronomy 9:27 b). –
