23 And when the LORD {YHWH} sent you⁺ out from Kadesh-barnea (holy), He said, “Go up and possess the land that I have given you⁺.” But you⁺ rebelled against the command of the LORD your⁺ God {YHWH Eloheikem}. You⁺ neither believed Him nor obeyed Him. 24 You⁺ have been rebelling against the LORD {YHWH} since the day I came to know you⁺. 25 So I fell down before the LORD {YHWH} for forty days and forty nights, because the LORD had said He would destroy you⁺. 26 And I prayed to the LORD {YHWH} and said, “O Lord GOD {Adonai YHWH}, do not destroy Your people, Your inheritance, whom You redeemed through Your greatness and brought out of Egypt (land of bondage) with a mighty hand. 27 Remember Your servants Abraham (father of many), Isaac (he laughs), and Jacob (he grasps the heel). Overlook the stubbornness of this people and the wickedness of their sin. 28 Otherwise, those in the land from which You brought us out will say, ‘Because the LORD {YHWH} was not able to bring them into the land He had promised them, and because He hated them, He has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.’ 29 But they are Your people, Your inheritance, whom You brought out by Your great power and outstretched arm.” Deuteronomy 9:23-29, Berean Annotated Bible.
