Moses’ Entreaty

Turn from Your burning anger and change Your mind about doing harm to Your people. 13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Your servants to whom You (C)swore by Yourself, and said to them, ‘I will (D)multiply your [a]descendants as the stars of the heavens, and (E)all this land of which I have spoken I will give to your [b]descendants, and they shall inherit it forever.’” 14 (F)So the Lord changed His mind about the harm which He said He would do to His people.
