And I prayed therefore unto the Lord ,.... What follows is a different prayer from that in Exodus 32:31 and agrees better with that in Deuteronomy 9:11 , delivered before he came down from the mount, yet could not be the same, because delivered at another forty days and nights:
and said, O Lord God, destroy not thy people, and thine inheritance : because they were his inheritance, a people whom he had chosen for his peculiar treasure; this is the first argument used, another follows:
which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness ; redeemed out of the house of bondage, the land of Egypt, by his great power, as next explained:
which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand : inflicting plagues on the Egyptians, particularly destroying their firstborn, which made them the Israelites urge to depart.
Be the first to react on this!
