Deu 9:13-20, 25-29, 18:15-19, Psa 106:23, Joh 1:17, Act 7:38 | ESV | STEP | Furthermore, the Lord said to me, I have seen this people , and behold , it is a stubborn people .

13 ^a“Furthermore, the Lord said to me, ‘I have seen this people, and behold, it is ^ba stubborn people. 14 ^cLet me alone, that I may destroy them and ^dblot out their name from under heaven. And ^eI will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.’ 15 ^fSo I turned and came down from the mountain, and ^gthe mountain was burning with fire. And the two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands. 16 And ^hI looked, and behold, you had sinned against the Lord your God. You had made yourselves a golden ^{▼▼Hebrew cast metal} calf. ^jYou had turned aside quickly from the way that the Lord had commanded you. 17 So I took hold of the two tablets and threw them out of my two hands and broke them before your eyes. 18 Then I ^klay prostrate before the Lord ^las before, forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all the sin that you had committed, ^min doing what was evil in the sight of the Lord to provoke him to anger. 19 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure that the Lord bore against you, so that he was ready to destroy you. ⁿBut the Lord listened to me that time also. 20 And the Lord was so angry with Aaron that he was ready to destroy him. And I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.

Deuteronomy 9:25-29

25 ^o“So I lay prostrate before the Lord for these forty days and forty nights, because the Lord had said he would destroy you. 26 ^pAnd I prayed to the Lord, ‘O Lord God, do not destroy your people and your heritage, whom you have redeemed through your greatness, whom you have brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand. 27 Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Do not regard the stubbornness of this people, or their wickedness or their sin, 28 lest the land from which you brought us say, ^q“Because the Lord was not able to bring them into the land that he promised them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to put them to death in the wilderness.” 29 ^rFor they are your people and your heritage, whom you brought out by your great power and by your outstretched arm.’

Deuteronomy 18:15-19

A New Prophet like Moses

15 ^s“The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your brothers—it is to him you shall listen— 16 just as you desired of the Lord your God at Horeb ^ton the day of the assembly, when you said, ^u‘Let me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God or see this great fire any more, lest I die.’ 17 And the Lord said to me, ^v‘They are right in what they have spoken. 18 ^wI will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. ^xAnd I will put my words in his mouth, and ^yhe shall speak to them all that I command him. 19 ^zAnd whoever will ^aanot listen to my words that he shall speak in my name, I myself will require it of him.
