Exodus 34:6

Hebrew Bible

5 The Lord descended in the cloud and stood with him there and proclaimed the Lord by name. 6 The Lord passed by before him and proclaimed: “The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, and abounding in loyal love and faithfulness, 7 keeping loyal love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin.

 Notes and References
"... Exodus 34:6–7 influenced the Hebrew Bible profoundly, and resemblances are found in many post-Biblical Jewish texts.
