20 And the Lord was very angry with Aaron and would have destroyed him; so I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.
21 Then I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burned it with fire and crushed it and ground it very small, until it was as fine as dust; and I athrew its dust into the brook that descended from the mountain.
22 “Also at aTaberah and bMassah and cKibroth Hattaavah you provoked the Lord to wrath.
23 Likewise, awhen the Lord sent you from Kadesh Barnea, saying, ‘Go up and possess the land which I have given you,’ then you rebelled against the commandment of the Lord your God, and byou did not believe Him nor obey His voice.
24 aYou have been rebellious against the Lord from the day that I knew you.
25 a“Thus I1 prostrated myself before the Lord; forty days and forty nights I kept prostrating myself, because the Lord had said He would destroy you.
26 Therefore I prayed to the Lord, and said: ‘O Lord God, do not destroy Your people and aYour inheritance whom You have redeemed through Your greatness, whom You have brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
