Exodus 32:11-14

11 Then ^aMoses entreated ¹the favor of Yahweh his God and said, “O Yahweh, why does Your anger burn against Your people whom You have brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a strong hand? 12 Why should ^athe Egyptians speak, saying, ‘With evil intent He brought them out to kill them in the mountains and to consume them from the face of the earth’? Turn from Your burning anger and relent concerning doing harm to Your people. 13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Your servants to whom You ^aswore by Yourself, and You said to them, ‘I will ^bmultiply your seed as the stars of the heavens, and ^call this land of which I have spoken I will give to your seed, and they shall inherit it forever.’” 14 ^aSo Yahweh relented concerning the harm which He said He would do to His people.

Numbers 14:13-20

13 ^aBut Moses said to Yahweh, “Then the Egyptians will hear of it, for by Your power You brought up this people from their midst, 14 and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that You, O Yahweh, are in the midst of this people, for ^aYou, O Yahweh, are seen eye to eye, while Your cloud stands over them; and You go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and in a pillar of fire by night. 15 Now if You put this people to death as one man, ^athen the nations who have heard of Your fame will ¹say, 16 ‘Because Yahweh ^awas not able to bring this people into the land which He swore to them, therefore He slaughtered them in the wilderness.’ 17 So now, I pray, let the power of the Lord be great, just as You have ¹declared, 18 ‘^aYahweh is slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but ^bHe will by no means clear the guilty, ^cvisiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children ¹to the third and the fourth generations.’ 19 ^aPardon, I pray, the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of Your lovingkindness, just as You also have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.”

Evil Complainers

20 So Yahweh said, “^aI have pardoned them according to your word;

1 Samuel 7:8-12

8 So the sons of Israel said to Samuel, “^aDo not cease to cry out to Yahweh our God for us, that He may save us from the hand of the Philistines.” 9 And Samuel took ^aa suckling lamb and offered it for a whole burnt offering to Yahweh; and Samuel cried out to Yahweh for Israel, and ^bYahweh answered him. 10 Now Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, and the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel. But ^aYahweh thundered with a great ¹thunder on that day against the Philistines and ^bconfused them, so that they were ²defeated before Israel. 11 So the men of Israel went out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines and struck them down as far as below Beth-car.
12 Then Samuel ^atook a stone and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and he named it ¹Ebenezer. And he said, “Thus far Yahweh has helped us.”
