⁶ Moses and Aaron were among his priests;
    Samuel also was among those who invoked his name.
When they called on the Lord,
    he answered them.
⁷ In a pillar of cloud he spoke to them;
    they obeyed his decrees
        and the Law that he gave them.
⁸ Lord our God, you answered them;
    you were their God who forgave^[a] them,
        but also avenged their evil deeds.
