Exodus 32:12 in Context — Exodus 32
10 Maintenant laisse-moi; ma colère va s’enflammer contre eux, et je les consumerai; mais je ferai de toi une grande nation.
11 Moïse implora l’Éternel, son Dieu, et dit: Pourquoi, ô Éternel! Ta colère s’enflammerait-elle contre ton peuple, que tu as fait sortir du pays d’Égypte par une grande puissance et par une main forte?
12 Pourquoi les Égyptiens diraient-ils: C’est pour leur malheur qu’il les a fait sortir, c’est pour les tuer dans les montagnes, et pour les exterminer de dessus la terre? Reviens de l’ardeur de ta colère, et repens-toi du mal que tu veux faire à ton peuple.
13 Souviens-toi d’Abraham, d’Isaac et d’Israël, tes serviteurs, auxquels tu as dit, en jurant par toi-même: Je multiplierai votre postérité comme les étoiles du ciel, je donnerai à vos descendants tout ce pays dont j’ai parlé, et ils le posséderont à jamais.
14 Et l’Éternel se repentit du mal qu’il avait déclaré vouloir faire à son peuple.
