And Mosesª besoughtª°²¹ the LORDª his God,ª and said,ª° LORD,ª why¹ doth thy wrathª wax hotª° against thy people,ª which¹ thou hast brought forthª° out of the landª¹ of Egyptª with greatª power,ª and with a mightyª hand?ª" {Exd 32:10-11} + "Yet now,¹ if¹ thou wilt forgiveª° their sin--;ª and if¹ not,¹ blotª° me, I pray thee,¹ out of thy bookª¹ which¹ thou hast written.ª°" {Exd 32:32} + "Furthermore the LORDª spakeª° unto¹ me, saying,ª° I have seenª°¹ this¹ people,ª and, behold,¹ it¹ [is] a stiffneckedªª people:ª ... Let me alone,ª°¹ that I may destroyª° them, and blot outª°¹ their nameª from under¹¹ heaven:ª and I will makeª° of² thee a nationª mightierª and greaterª than¹ they." {Deu 9:13-14} + "For¹ I was afraidª° ofª¹ the angerª and hot displeasure,ª wherewith¹ the LORDª was wrothª° against¹ you to destroyª° you.
