Numbers 14:16 in Context — Numbers 14

14 E o dirão aos habitantes desta terra; os quais ouviram que tu, ó SENHOR, estavas em meio deste povo, que olho a olho aparecias tu, ó SENHOR, e que tua nuvem estava sobre eles, e que de dia ias diante deles em coluna de nuvem, e de noite em coluna de fogo.

15 E que fizeste morrer a este povo como a um homem: e as nações que houverem ouvido tua fama falarão, dizendo:

16 Porque não pôde o SENHOR meter este povo na terra da qual lhes havia jurado, os matou no deserto.

17 Agora, pois, eu te rogo que seja engrandecida a força do Senhor, como o falaste, dizendo:

18 O SENHOR, tardio de ira e grande em misericórdia, que perdoa a iniquidade e a rebelião, e deixa impune o culpado; que visita a maldade dos pais sobre os filhos até a terceira geração e até a quarta.
