"Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshiped." Again he entreated that God would pardon the iniquity of His people, and take them for His inheritance. His prayer was granted. The Lord graciously promised to renew His favor to Israel, and in their behalf to do marvels such as had not been done "in all the earth, nor in any nation."

Da bøjede Moses sig hastelig til jorden, tilbad og sagde ..... Atter bønfaldt han Gud om at tilgive sit folks uretfærdighed og antage dem som sin arv. Hans bøn blev opfyldt. Herren lovede nådigt at forny sin pagt med Israel og for deres skyld udføre undere, som aldrig før var sket nogetsteds på jorden og blandt noget folkeslag.
