23When Yahweh sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then you rebelled against the commandment of Yahweh your God, and you didn`t believe him, nor listen to his voice.
24You have been rebellious against Yahweh from the day that I knew you.
25So I fell down before Yahweh the forty days and forty nights that I fell down, because Yahweh had said he would destroy you.
26I prayed to Yahweh, and said, Lord Yahweh, don`t destroy your people and your inheritance, that you have redeemed through your greatness, that you have brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
27Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; don`t look to the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin,
28lest the land whence you brought us out say, Because Yahweh was not able to bring them into the land which he promised to them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.
29Yet they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out by your great power and by your outstretched arm.
