Deuteronomy 9
25 Ref So I fell down before Yahweh the forty days and forty nights that I fell down, because Yahweh had said he would destroy you.
26 Ref I prayed to Yahweh, and said, Lord Yahweh, don't destroy your people and your inheritance, that you have redeemed through your greatness, that you have brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
27 Ref Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; don't look to the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin,
28 Ref lest the land whence you brought us out say, Because Yahweh was not able to bring them into the land which he promised to them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.
29 Ref Yet they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out by your great power and by your outstretched arm.
