Turn from your burning anger and ^jrelent from this disaster against your people. 13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you ^kswore by your own self, and said to them, ^l‘I will multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have promised I will give to your offspring, and they shall inherit it forever.’” 14 And the Lord ^mrelented from the disaster that he had spoken of bringing on his people.

Moses Intercedes for the People

13 But ^yMoses said to the Lord, “Then the Egyptians will hear of it, for you brought up this people in your might from among them, 14 and they will tell the inhabitants of this land. ^zThey have heard that you, O Lord, are in the midst of this people. For you, O Lord, are seen face to face, and ^aayour cloud stands over them and you go before them, in a pillar of cloud by day and in a pillar of fire by night. 15 Now if you kill this people as one man, then the nations who have heard your fame will say, 16 ‘It is because the Lord ^abwas not able to bring this people into the land that he swore to give to them that he has killed them in the wilderness.’ 17 And now, please let the power of the Lord be great as you have promised, saying, 18 ^ac‘The Lord is slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, forgiving iniquity and transgression, but he will by no means clear the guilty, ^advisiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, to the third and the fourth generation.’ 19 Please ^aepardon the iniquity of this people, according to the greatness of your steadfast love, just ^afas you have forgiven this people, from Egypt until now.”

And I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.
