9 And the Lord said to Moses, “I have seen this people, and behold, it is a ^qstiff-necked people. 10 Now therefore ^rlet me alone, ^sthat my wrath may burn hot against them and I may consume them, in order that ^tI may make a ^ugreat nation of you.”

22 And Aaron said, “Let not the anger of my lord burn hot. You know the people, that they are set on evil.

5 For the Lord had said to Moses, “Say to the people of Israel, ‘You are a stiff-necked people; if for a single moment I should go up among you, I would consume you. So now take off your ornaments, that I may know what to do with you.’”

9 And he said, “If now I have found favor in your sight, O Lord, please let the Lord go ^xin the midst of us, for it is a ^ystiff-necked people, and ^zpardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your ^ainheritance.”
