‘In your steadfast love you led the people whom you redeemed; you guided them by your strength to your holy abode.

but showing steadfast love to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments.

But if the slave declares, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out a free person’,

The Lord passed before him, and proclaimed, ‘The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness,

keeping steadfast love for the thousandth generation, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, yet by no means clearing the guilty, but visiting the iniquity of the parents upon the children and the children’s children, to the third and the fourth generation.’
