But he by no means leaves the guilty unpunished, responding to the transgression of fathers by dealing with children and children’s children, to the third and fourth generation.” 8 Moses quickly bowed to the ground and worshiped 9 and said, “If now I have found favor in your sight, O Lord, let my Lord go among us, for we are a stiff-necked people; pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance.”

While many words (and their synonyms) from YHWH’s revelation appear throughout the New Testament, it contains no extended quotations. Nevertheless, the texts with these lexical links may unconsciously allude to theologically loaded words in Exodus 34:6–7 ..."
