Numbers 14:12–20
I will strike them with a plague and destroy them—and I will make you into a nation greater and mightier than they are.” / But Moses said to the LORD, “The Egyptians will hear of it, for by Your strength You brought this people from among them. / And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have already heard that You, O LORD, are in the midst of this people, that You, O LORD, have been seen face to face, that Your cloud stands over them, and that You go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.
Deuteronomy 9:13–29
The LORD also said to me, “I have seen this people, and they are indeed a stiff-necked people. / Leave Me alone, so that I may destroy them and blot out their name from under heaven. Then I will make you into a nation mightier and greater than they are.” / So I went back down the mountain while it was blazing with fire, with the two tablets of the covenant in my hands.
