^{13 Ref} Moses said to Yahweh, Then the Egyptians will hear it; for you brought up this people in your might from among them;

^{14 Ref} and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that you Yahweh are in the midst of this people; for you Yahweh are seen face to face, and your cloud stands over them, and you go before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night.

^{15 Ref} Now if you shall kill this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of you will speak, saying,

^{16 Ref} Because Yahweh was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness.

^{17 Ref} Now please let the power of the Lord be great, according as you have spoken, saying,

^{18 Ref} Yahweh is slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, forgiving iniquity and disobedience; and that will by no means clear [the guilty], visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation.

^{19 Ref} Pardon, Please, the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of your loving kindness, and according as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.
