Moses Intercedes for the People

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

28 lest the land from which you brought us say, ^b“Because the Lord was not able to bring them into the land that he promised them, and ^cbecause he hated them, he has brought them out to put them to death in the wilderness.”
