20. And with Aaron Jehovah was very angry to destroy him; and I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.
21. And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burned it with fire, and crushed it, and ground it very small, until it became fine dust; and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that flowed down from the mountain.
22. And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, ye provoked Jehovah to wrath.
23. And when Jehovah sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and take possession of the land which I have given you, ye rebelled against the word of Jehovah your God and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.
24. Ye have been rebellious against Jehovah from the day that I knew you.
25. So I fell down before Jehovah the forty days and forty nights, as I fell down; for Jehovah had said he would destroy you.
26. I prayed therefore to Jehovah, and said, Lord Jehovah, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a powerful hand.
27. Remember thy servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not at the stubbornness of this people, nor at their wickedness, nor at their sin;
28. lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because Jehovah was not able to bring them into the land which he had promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.
