Devarim 9:18-20

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁸ And I fell down before Hashem, as at the first, arba’im yom and arba’im lailah; I did neither eat lechem, nor drink mayim, because of kol chattatchem ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of Hashem, to provoke Him to anger.

¹⁹ For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith Hashem was angry against you to destroy you. But Hashem listened unto me at that time also.

²⁰ And Hashem was very angry with Aharon to have made him shmad; and I davened on behalf of Aharon also at that time.
