Moses said to the Lord,“ Then the Egyptians will hear about it! By your power you brought these people up from among them.

Moses said to the Lord,“ Then the Egyptians will hear about it. You used your power to bring these people up from among them.

But Moses said to the Lord,“ Then the Egyptians will hear of it, for you brought up this people in your might from among them,

But Moses replied to the LORD,“ The Egyptians will hear about it, for by your strength you brought up this people from them.

But Moses said to the Lord,“ Then the Egyptians will hear of it, for by Your strength You brought this people up from their midst,

And Moses said to the Lord:“ Then the Egyptians will hear it, for by Your might You brought these people up from among them,

And Moses said unto Jehovah, Then the Egyptians will hear it; for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;

But Moses replied to the Lord,“ The Egyptians will hear about it, for by Your strength You brought up this people from them.

And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear[ it],( for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;)

Moses said to the LORD,“ When the Egyptians hear it– for you brought up this people by your power from among them–

Moses said to Yahweh,“ Then the Egyptians will hear it; for you brought up this people in your might from among them.

So he declared he would destroy them. But Moses, his chosen one, stepped between the Lord and the people. He begged him to turn from his anger and not destroy them.

But I didn’t do it, for I acted to protect the honor of my name. I would not allow shame to be brought on my name among the surrounding nations who saw me reveal myself by bringing the Israelites out of Egypt.

But I feared the taunt of Israel’s enemy, who might misunderstand and say,“ Our own power has triumphed! The Lord had nothing to do with this!”’

But again I held back in order to protect the honor of my name before the nations who had seen my power in bringing Israel out of Egypt.

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!Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. You bound yourself with an oath to them, saying,‘ I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars of heaven. And I will give them all of this land that I have promised to your descendants, and they will possess it forever.’”So the Lord changed his mind about the terrible disaster he had threatened to bring on his 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.”

Lord, what can I say now that Israel has fled from its enemies?For when the Canaanites and all the other people living in the land hear about it, they will surround us and wipe our name off the face of the earth. And then what will happen to the honor of your great name?”
