Devarim 9:24-26

Orthodox Jewish Bible

²⁴ Ye have been rebellious against Hashem from the yom that I knew you.

²⁵ Thus I fell down before Hashem arba’im hayom and arba’im halailah, as I fell down at the first; because Hashem had said He would destroy you.

²⁶ I davened therefore unto Hashem, and said, Adonoi Hashem, destroy not Thy people and Thine inheritance, which Thou hast redeemed through Thy greatness, which Thou hast brought forth out of Mitzrayim with a yad chazakah.
