“Thus I fell down before the Lord forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first; because the Lord had said he would destroy you.”
I lay prostrate before the LORD those forty days and forty nights because the LORD had said he would destroy you — another intercession, now for the Kadesh Barnea rebellion. The third 40-day vigil emphasizes that Moses' primary work is not leading Israel but interceding for them before the wrathful God.
