Numbers 14:17-19

New International Reader's Version

¹⁷ “Now, Lord, show your strength. You have said, ¹⁸ ‘I am the Lord. I am slow to get angry. I am full of love. I forgive those who sin. I forgive those who refuse to obey. But I do not let guilty people go without punishing them. I cause the sin of the parents to affect their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.’ ¹⁹ Lord, your love is great. So forgive the sin of these people. Forgive them just as you have done from the time they left Egypt until now.”
