REBECCA’S WELL: Moses’ Prayer to Pardon the Unbelief of Israel at Kadesh-Barnea
Dr. Rebecca R. Rivka
“And Moses said unto the Lord, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;)
And they will tell it to thee inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that thou Lord art among this people, that thou Lord art seen face to face, and that thou cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.
Now if thou shall kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,
Because the Lord was not able to bring this people into the land which he swear unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness

‘The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: the Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: the Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.’
