(1CL) 3 And the Lord said unto him; I have spoken unto thee once and twice, saying, I have seen this people, and behold it is stiff-necked. Let Me destroy them utterly, and I will blot out their name from under heaven, and I will make of thee a nation great and wonderful and numerous more than this . (1CL) 4 And Moses said; Nay, not so, Lord Forgive this people their sin, or blot me also out of the book of the living . (1CL)
