15 may hear that you have killed so great a multitude, as if they were one man, and they may say:
16 'He was not able to lead the people into the land about which he had sworn. Therefore, he slew them in the wilderness.'
17 Therefore, may the strength of the Lord be magnified, just as you swore, saying:
18 'The Lord is patient and full of mercy, taking away iniquity and wickedness, and forsaking no one who is harmless. He visits the sins of the fathers upon the sons, to the third and fourth generation.'
19 Forgive, I beg you, the sins of this people, according to the greatness of your mercy, just as you have been gracious to them in their journey from Egypt to this place.'
