“God, if you become angry and destroy these people, the Egyptians will say you brought them out here in these mountains just to get rid of them. Remember the solemn promise you made to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that they would have many descendants and you would give them land,” Moses appealed.
So, even though God had threatened to destroy the people, He changed His mind and He let them live. [Reflection based on the Bible Reference – Exodus 32:11-14]
