^{13 Ref} And Moses saith unto Jehovah, `Then have the Egyptians heard! for Thou hast brought up with Thy power this people out of their midst,

^{14 Ref} and they have said `it' unto the inhabitant of this land, they have heard that Thou, Jehovah, `art' in the midst of this people, that eye to eye Thou art seen -- O Jehovah, and Thy cloud is standing over them, -- and in a pillar of cloud Thou art going before them by day, and in a pillar of fire by night.

^{15 Ref} `And Thou hast put to death this people as one man, and the nations who have heard Thy fame have spoken, saying,

^{16 Ref} From Jehovah's want of ability to bring in this people unto the land which He hath sworn to them -- He doth slaughter them in the wilderness.

^{17 Ref} `And now, let, I pray Thee, the power of my Lord be great, as Thou hast spoken, saying:

^{18 Ref} Jehovah `is' slow to anger, and of great kindness; bearing away iniquity and transgression, and not entirely acquitting, charging iniquity of fathers on sons, on a third `generation', and on a fourth; --

^{19 Ref} forgive, I pray Thee, the iniquity of this people, according to the greatness of Thy kindness, and as Thou hast borne with this people from Egypt, even until now.'

^{20 Ref} And Jehovah saith, `I have forgiven, according to thy word;

^{21 Ref} and yet, I live -- and it is filled -- the whole earth -- `with' the honour of Jehovah;

^{22 Ref} for all the men who are seeing My honour, and My signs, which I have done in Egypt, and in the wilderness, and try Me these ten times, and have not hearkened to My voice --

^{23 Ref} they see not the land which I have sworn to their fathers, yea, none of those despising Me see it;

^{24 Ref} and My servant Caleb, because there hath been another spirit with him, and he is fully after Me -- I have brought him in unto the land whither he hath entered, and his seed doth possess it.

^{25 Ref} `And the Amalekite and the Canaanite are dwelling in the valley; to-morrow turn ye and journey for yourselves into the wilderness -- the way of the Red Sea.'
