And all the congregation said to stone them with stones. And the glory of Jehovah appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation, to all the sons of Israel.

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?

I shall strike it with pestilence and dispossess it. And I will make you a nation greater and mightier than it.

And Moses said to Jehovah, And the Egyptians will hear. For You have brought up this people out of their midst with Your power.

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.

And will You cause this people to die as one man? Then the nations who have heard Your fame will speak, saying,

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.

And now, I beseech You, let the power of my Lord be great, as You have spoken, saying,

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 .

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.
