Contextual Overview

11 And Jehovah said to Moses, Until when will this people despise Me? And until when will they continue not to believe in Me for all the signs I have done in its midst? 12 I shall strike it with pestilence and dispossess it. And I will make you a nation greater and mightier than it. 13 And Moses said to Jehovah, And the Egyptians will hear. For You have brought up this people out of their midst with Your power. 14 And they will say to the one living in this land, They have heard that You, Jehovah, are in the midst of this people, who is seen eye to eye. You are Jehovah, and Your cloud stands over them; in a pillar of cloud You go before them by day, and in a pillar of fire by night. 15 And will You cause this people to die as one man? Then the nations who have heard Your fame will speak, saying, 16 Because Jehovah is not able to bring this people into the land which He swore to them, therefore He has slain them in the wilderness. 17 And now, I beseech You, let the power of my Lord be great, as You have spoken, saying, 18 Jehovah is slow to anger, and of great mercy, bearing away iniquity and transgression; and by no means will clear the guilty , visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the sons, on the third and on the fourth generation . 19 I pray, forgive the iniquity of this people, according to the greatness of Your mercy, and as You have gone with this people from Egypt, even until now.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people,

according unto the greatness of thy mercy,.... Intimating, that though the sin of this people was great, the mercy of God to pardon was greater; and therefore he entreats that God would deal with them, not according to the greatness of their sins, and the strictness of justice, but according to the greatness of his mercy, who would, and does, abundantly pardon;

and as thou hast forgiven this people from Egypt even until now; which shows both that these people had been continually sinning against the Lord, ever since they came out of Egypt, notwithstanding the great goodness of God unto them, and that he had as constantly pardoned; and therefore it was hoped and entreated that he would still continue to pardon them, he being the same he ever was, and whose mercy and goodness endure for ever: he had pardoned already sins of the like kind since their coming out of Egypt, as their murmurings for bread in the wilderness of Sin, Exodus 16:1, and for water at Rephidim,

Exodus 17:1, and even a greater sin than these, idolatry, or the worship of the calf, Exodus 32:1.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Numbers 14:19. Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people — From Numbers 14:13-19 inclusive we have the words of Moses's intercession; they need no explanation, they are full of simplicity and energy; his arguments with God (for be did reason and argue with his Maker) are pointed, cogent, and respectful; and while they show a heart full of humanity, they evidence the deepest concern for the glory of God. The argumentum ad hominem is here used in the most unexceptionable manner, and with the fullest effect.
