Exodus 32:10-12

Expanded Bible

¹⁰ So now do not stop me. I am so angry with them that I am going to ·destroy [^Lconsume] them. Then I will make ·you and your descendants [^Lyou] a great nation [^Cechoing the promise to Abraham; Gen. 12:1–3].”

¹¹ But Moses ·begged [tried to appease] the Lord his God and said, “Lord, ·don’t let your anger destroy [^Lwhy does your anger burn against…?] your people, whom you brought out of Egypt with your great power and ·strength [^La mighty hand]. ¹² ·Don’t let [^LWhy should…?] the people of Egypt say, ‘The Lord brought the Israelites out of Egypt for an evil purpose. He planned to kill them in the mountains and ·destroy [^Lwipe] them from the earth.’ So ·stop being angry [change your mind; relent], and don’t ·destroy [^Lbring harm on] your people.
