^12 (A)Why should the Egyptians say, ‘With evil intent did he bring them out, to kill them in the mountains and to consume them from the face of the earth’? Turn from your burning anger and ^(B)relent from this disaster against your people. ¹³ Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you ^(C)swore by your own self, and said to them, ^(D)‘I will multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have promised I will give to your offspring, and they shall inherit it forever.’” ¹⁴ And the Lord ^(E)relented from the disaster that he had spoken of bringing on his people.

The Command to Leave Sinai

33 The Lord said to Moses, “Depart; go up from here, you ^(A)and the people whom you have brought up out of the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, ‘To ^(B)your offspring I will give it.’

⁴² then I will ^(A)remember my covenant with Jacob, and I will remember my covenant with Isaac and my covenant with Abraham, and I will ^(B)remember the land.

⁸ See, I have set the land before you. Go in and take possession of the land that the Lord swore to your fathers, ^(A)to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them and to their offspring after them.’

³¹ For the Lord your God is ^(A)a merciful God. ^(B)He will not leave you or destroy you or forget the covenant with your fathers that he swore to them.

⁸ but ^(A)it is because the Lord loves you and is keeping ^(B)the oath that he swore to your fathers, that the Lord has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

²⁷ Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Do not regard the stubbornness of this people, or their wickedness or their sin,

¹² so that you may enter into the ^(A)sworn covenant of the Lord your God, which the Lord your God is making with you today, ¹³ that he may ^(B)establish you today as his people, and that ^(C)he may be your God, as he promised you, and ^(D)as he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
