BRAGADAYJAH 429

Moses Intercedes For the people.
Just as the people purposed in their hearts to do grievous bodily harm to Moses and Aaron and Caleb and Joshua, the Lord intervened and said unto Moses, “How long will this people provoke me? And how long will it be before they believe me for all the signs I have shown among them?  I will smite them with the pestilence and disinherit them, and I will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.”
And Moses said unto the Lord, “then the Egyptians shall hear of it; for it was you who brought them up out of Egypt by your might. And they will tell it to the inhabitants of the land; for they have heard that you, Lord, are among them, and go before them, by daytime in a pillar of cloud, and by night in a pillar of fire.
Therefore if you kill all this people, as one man, then the nations who have heard of you will say, because the Lord was not able to bring his people into the land which He swore unto them to give them, He has slain them in the wilderness.”
“So now, I beseech you dear Lord, let your power be greater as you have spoken saying, the Lord is long-suffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children of the third and fourth generation.”

“Pardon, therefore, I0 pray you dear Lord, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of your mercy, and as thou hast repeatedly forgiven them since they left Egypt unto now.”
