Numbers 14:17

Now if you killed this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of you will speak, saying,

Because Yahweh was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness.

Yahweh is slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, forgiving iniquity and disobedience; and that will by no means clear [the guilty], visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation.

Please pardon the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of your loving kindness, and according as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.
