“I prayed therefore unto the Lord, and said, O Lord God, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.”
I prayed to the LORD and said, 'Sovereign LORD, do not destroy your people, your own inheritance that you redeemed by your great power and brought out of Egypt by a mighty hand — Moses' intercession appeals to the LORD's covenant identity: these are the LORD's own people, redeemed through exodus-power. To destroy Israel would be to negate the redemption itself.
