Read Deuteronomy 9 in full →25“aSo I fell down before Yahweh the forty days and the forty nights, which I 1did because Yahweh had said He would destroy you. 26“aAnd I prayed to Yahweh and said, ‘O Lord Yahweh, do not destroy Your people, even Your inheritance, whom You have redeemed through Your greatness, whom You have brought out of Egypt with a strong hand. 27‘Remember Your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; do not look at the stiff-neck of this people or at their wickedness or their sin, 28lest the land from which You brought us say, “aBecause Yahweh was not able to bring them into the land which He had 1promised them and because He hated them He has brought them out to put them to death in the wilderness.” 29‘Yet they are Your people, even aYour inheritance, whom You have brought out by Your bgreat power and Your outstretched arm.’
