“Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin:”
Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Overlook the stubbornness of this people, their wickedness and their sin — Moses' prayer invokes the patriarchal covenant (the same ground used in 9:5): the promise sworn to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob should circumvent the judgment deserved by present sin. Memory of the oath becomes grounds for clemency.
