⁶Then the Lord passed by in front of him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord God, ^acompassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and ¹truth;

⁷who ^akeeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin; yet He ^bwill by no means leave the guilty unpunished, ^cvisiting the iniquity of fathers on the children and on the grandchildren to the third and fourth generations.”

⁸Moses made haste ¹^ato bow low toward the earth and worship.

⁹He said, “^aIf now I have found favor in Your sight, O Lord, I pray, let the Lord go along in our midst, even though ¹^bthe people are so obstinate, and ^cpardon our iniquity and our sin, and ^dtake us as Your own ²possession.”

The Covenant Renewed

¹⁰Then ¹God said, “Behold, ^aI am going to make a covenant. Before all your people ^bI will perform miracles which have not been ²produced in all the earth nor among any of the nations; and all the people ³among whom you live will see the working of the Lord, for it is a fearful thing that I am going to perform with you.
