for they are your people and your inheritance, whom you brought out of Egypt, out of that iron-smelting furnace.

After all, they are your people. They belong to you. You brought them out of Egypt. You brought them out of that furnace that melts iron down and makes it pure.

( for they are your people, and your heritage, which you brought out of Egypt, from the midst of the iron furnace).

For they are your people and your inheritance; you brought them out of Egypt, out of the middle of an iron furnace.

( for they are Your people and Your inheritance which You have brought out of Egypt, from the midst of the iron furnace),

( for they are Your people and Your inheritance, whom You brought out of Egypt, out of the iron furnace),

( for they are thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron);

For they are Your people and Your inheritance; You brought them out of Egypt, out of the middle of an iron furnace.

For they[ be] thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron:

After all, they are your people and your special possession whom you brought out of Egypt, from the middle of the iron-smelting furnace.

( for they are your people, and your inheritance, which you brought out of Egypt, from the middle of the iron furnace);

For I said to your ancestors when I brought them out of the iron smelting furnace of Egypt,“ If you obey me and do whatever I command you, then you will be my people, and I will be your God.”

Remember that the Lord rescued you from the iron smelting furnace of Egypt in order to make you his very own people and his special possession, which is what you are today.

“ The people you rescued by your great power and strong hand are your servants.

But Moses tried to pacify the Lord his God.“ O Lord!” he said.“ Why are you so angry with your own people whom you brought from the land of Egypt with such great power and such a strong hand?Why let the Egyptians say,‘ Their God rescued them with the evil intention of slaughtering them in the mountains and wiping them from the face of the earth’? Turn away from your fierce anger. Change your mind about this terrible disaster you have threatened against your people!

I prayed to the Lord and said,‘ O Sovereign Lord, do not destroy them. They are your own people. They are your special possession, whom you redeemed from Egypt by your mighty power and your strong hand.Please overlook the stubbornness and the awful sin of these people, and remember instead your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.If you destroy these people, the Egyptians will say,“ The Israelites died because the Lord wasn’t able to bring them to the land he had promised to give them.” Or they might say,“ He destroyed them because he hated them; he deliberately took them into the wilderness to slaughter them.”But they are your people and your special possession, whom you brought out of Egypt by your great strength and powerful arm.’

But Moses objected.“ What will the Egyptians think when they hear about it?” he asked the Lord.“ They know full well the power you displayed in rescuing your people from Egypt.Now if you destroy them, the Egyptians will send a report to the inhabitants of this land, who have already heard that you live among your people. They know, Lord, that you have appeared to your people face to face and that your pillar of cloud hovers over them. They know that you go before them in the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night.Now if you slaughter all these people with a single blow, the nations that have heard of your fame will say,‘ The Lord was not able to bring them into the land he swore to give them, so he killed them in the wilderness.’“ Please, Lord, prove that your power is as great as you have claimed. For you said,‘ The Lord is slow to anger and filled with unfailing love, forgiving every kind of sin and rebellion. But he does not excuse the guilty. He lays the sins of the parents upon their children; the entire family is affected— even children in the third and fourth generations.’In keeping with your magnificent, unfailing love, please pardon the sins of this people, just as you have forgiven them ever since they left Egypt.”

But the God of Israel is no idol! He is the Creator of everything that exists, including his people, his own special possession. The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is his name!

Surely you are still our Father! Even if Abraham and Jacob would disown us, Lord, you would still be our Father. You are our Redeemer from ages past.Lord, why have you allowed us to turn from your path? Why have you given us stubborn hearts so we no longer fear you? Return and help us, for we are your servants, the tribes that are your special possession.How briefly your holy people possessed your holy place, and now our enemies have destroyed it.

then hear their prayers and their petitions from heaven where you live, and uphold their cause. Forgive your people who have sinned against you.

Don’t be so angry with us, Lord. Please don’t remember our sins forever. Look at us, we pray, and see that we are all your people.

For when you brought our ancestors out of Egypt, O Sovereign Lord, you told your servant Moses that you had set Israel apart from all the nations of the earth to be your own special possession.”
