Exodus 32:14

Exodus 32:14

12 ^aWhy should the Egyptians speak, and say, ‘He brought them out to harm them, to kill them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth’? Turn from Your fierce wrath, and ^brelent from this harm to Your people.

13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Your servants, to whom You ^aswore by Your own self, and said to them, ^b‘I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven; and all this land that I have spoken of I give to your descendants, and they shall inherit it forever.’ ”

14 So the Lord ^arelented from the harm which He said He would do to His people.

15 And ^aMoses turned and went down from the mountain, and the two tablets of the Testimony were in his hand. The tablets were written on both sides; on the one side and on the other they were written.

16 Now the ^atablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God engraved on the tablets.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Exodus 32:13

Exodus 32:15 >>

And the Lord repented of the evil he thought to do - Though he designed to punish them, yet he would not ruin them. See here, the power of prayer, God suffers himself to be prevailed with by humble believing importunity. And see the compassion of God towards poor sinners, and how ready he is to forgive.
