The Lord Pardons and Rebukes

²⁰ So the Lord said, “^(A)I have pardoned them according to your word;

^18 (A)I fell down before the Lord, ^(B)as at the first, forty days and nights; ^(C)I neither ate bread nor drank water, ^(D)because of all your sin which you had committed in doing what was evil in the sight of the Lord to provoke Him to anger. ¹⁹ For ^(E)I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure with which the Lord was wrathful against you in order to destroy you, ^(F)but the Lord listened to me that time also. ²⁰ The Lord was angry enough with Aaron to destroy him; so I also prayed for Aaron at the same time.
