Exodus 32:11-14, New Living Translation
11 But Moses pleaded with the LORD his God not to do it. "O LORD!" he exclaimed. "Why are you so angry with your own people whom you brought from the land of Egypt with such great power and mighty acts?
12 The Egyptians will say, `God tricked them into coming to the mountains so he could kill them and wipe them from the face of the earth.' Turn away from your fierce anger. Change your mind about this terrible disaster you are planning against your people!
13 Remember your covenant with your servants—Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.[1][Hebrew Israel. ] You swore by your own self, `I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars of heaven. Yes, I will give them all of this land that I have promised to your descendants, and they will possess it forever.' "
14 So the LORD withdrew his threat and didn't bring against his people the disaster he had threatened.
