15. But if you destroy this people all at once, the nations that will have heard your message will say,
16. ‘Yahweh was unable to bring this people in the land that he swore by an oath, and he slaughtered them in the desert.’
17. But now, please, let the power of my Lord be great, just has you spoke,
18. ‘Yahweh is slow to anger and great of loyal love, forgiving sin and rebellion; but surely he leaves nothing unpunished, visiting the sin of the fathers on the sons to the third and fourth generations.’
19. Please forgive the sin of this people according to the greatness of your loyal love, just as you forgave this people, from Egypt until now.”
20. Yahweh said, “I have forgiven them according to your word;
21. but as I am alive, the glory of Yahweh will fill all the earth.
