11But aMoses 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 bWhy 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 crelent from this disaster against your people.Numbers 14:13-19
Moses Intercedes for the People
13But dMoses said to the Lord, “Then the Egyptians will hear of it, for you brought up this people in your might from among them, 14and they will tell the inhabitants of this land. eThey have heard that you, O Lord, are in the midst of this people. For you, O Lord, are seen face to face, and fyour cloud stands over them and you go before them, in a pillar of cloud by day and in a pillar of fire by night. 15Now if you kill this people as one man, then the nations who have heard your fame will say, 16‘It is because the Lord gwas not able to bring this people into the land that he swore to give to them that he has killed them in the wilderness.’ 17And now, please let the power of the Lord be great as you have promised, saying, 18 h‘The Lord is slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, forgiving iniquity and transgression, but he will by no means clear the guilty, ivisiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, to the third and the fourth generation.’ 19Please jpardon the iniquity of this people, according to the greatness of your steadfast love, just kas you have forgiven this people, from Egypt until now.”Deuteronomy 9:26-29
26 lAnd 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. 27Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Do not regard the stubbornness of this people, or their wickedness or their sin, 28lest the land from which you brought us say, m“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 nFor they are your people and your heritage, whom you brought out by your great power and by your outstretched arm.’1 Kings 8:53
53For you separated them from among all the peoples of the earth to be your heritage, oas you declared through Moses your servant, when you brought our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord God.”2 Chronicles 6:39
39then hear from heaven your dwelling place their prayer and their pleas, and maintain their cause and forgive your people who have sinned against you.Nehemiah 1:10
10 pThey are your servants and your people, whom you have redeemed by your great power and by your strong hand.
