Why 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 away from Your burning wrath, and have compassion regarding this evil to Your people.

And Moses said to Jehovah: Then the Egyptians will hear it (for by Your might You brought these people up from among them),

They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.

Unless it had been Jehovah who was for us, when men rose up against us,

then they would have swallowed us alive, when their wrath was kindled against us.

I have said, I will dash them in pieces, I will bring to an end the memory of them from among men,

We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.

Nevertheless He delivered them for His name's sake, that He might make His mighty power known.

But I acted for My name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the eyes of the nations among whom they were, in whose sight I had made Myself known to them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt.

Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: I do not do this for your sake, O house of Israel, but for the sake of My holy name, which you have profaned among the nations, there where you went.

Let the priests, the ministers of Jehovah, weep between the porch and the altar; and let them say, Have compassion on Your people, O Jehovah, and do not give Your possession to reproach, that the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, Where is their God?

Father, glorify Your name. Then a voice came from Heaven, saying, I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.
