The Lord passed in front of Moses, calling out,

“Yahweh![a] The Lord!
    The God of compassion and mercy!
I am slow to anger
    and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness.
I lavish unfailing love to a thousand generations.[b]
    I forgive iniquity, rebellion, and sin.

the entire family is affected—
    even children in the third and fourth generations.”
