Moses said to the Lord,“ Then the Egyptians will hear about it! By your power you brought 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 objected.“ What will the Egyptians think when they hear about it?” he asked the Lord.“ They know full well the power you displayed in rescuing your people from Egypt.

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 said he would destroy them. But Moses, his chosen one, stood up for them. He kept God’s anger from destroying them.

I wanted my name to be honored. So I brought my people out of Egypt. I did it to keep my name from being treated as if it were not holy. I didn’t want this to happen in front of the nations around my people. I had made myself known to Israel in the sight of those nations.

But I was afraid their enemies would make fun of that. I was afraid their attackers would not understand. I was sure they would say,‘ We’re the ones who’ve beaten them! The Lord isn’t the one who did it.’ ”

But I wanted my name to be honored. I kept it from being treated as if it were not holy. I did not want that to happen in front of the nations. They had seen me bring Israel out of Egypt.

But Moses asked the Lord his God to have mercy on the people.“ Lord,” he said,“ why should you destroy your people in anger? You used your great power and mighty hand to bring them out of Egypt.Why should the Egyptians say,‘ He brought them out to hurt them. He wanted to kill them in the mountains. He wanted to wipe them off the face of the earth’? Turn away from your great anger. Please take pity on your people. Don’t destroy them!Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac and Israel. You made a promise to them in your own name. You said,‘ I will make your children after you as many as the stars in the sky. I will give them all this land I promised them. It will belong to them forever.’ ”Then the Lord took pity on his people. He didn’t destroy them as he had said he would.

I prayed to him.“ Lord and King,” I said,“ don’t destroy your people. They belong to you. You set them free by your great power. You used your mighty hand to bring them out of Egypt.Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Forgive the Israelites for being so stubborn. Don’t judge them for the evil and sinful things they’ve done.If you do, the Egyptians will say,‘ The Lord wasn’t able to take them into the land he had promised to give them. He hated them. So he brought them out of Egypt to put them to death in the desert.’

Lord, our enemies have driven us away. What can I say?The Canaanites will hear about it. So will everyone else in the country. They will surround us. They’ll erase any mention of our name from the face of the earth. Then what will you do when people don’t honor your great name anymore?”
