* And the LORD said unto Moses , How long will this people provoke me ? and how long will it be ere they believe me , for all the signs which I have shewed among them ? * I will smite them with the pestilence , and disinherit them , and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they . * And Moses said unto the LORD , Then the Egyptians shall hear it , (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them ;) * And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land : for they have heard that thou LORD art among this people , that thou LORD art seen face to face , and that thy cloud standeth over them , and that thou goest before them , by day time in a pillar of a cloud , and in a pillar of fire by night . * Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man , then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak , saying , * Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he sware unto them , therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness . * And now , I beseech thee , let the power of my Lord be great , according as thou hast spoken , saying , * The LORD is longsuffering #H639 , and of great mercy , forgiving iniquity and transgression , and by no means clearing the guilty , visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation . * Pardon , I beseech thee , the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy , and as thou hast forgiven this people , from Egypt even until now . * And the LORD said , I have pardoned according to thy word : * But as truly as I live , all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD . * Because all those men which have seen my glory , and my miracles , which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness , and have tempted me now these ten times pa #am #, and have not hearkened to my voice ; * Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers , neither shall any of them that provoked me see it : * But my servant Caleb , because he had another spirit with him , and hath followed me fully , him will I bring into the land whereinto he went ; and his seed shall possess it . * (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley . ) To morrow turn you , and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea . * And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron , saying , * How long shall I bear with this evil congregation , which murmur against me ? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel Yisra #el #, which they murmur against me .
