    Brief Summary: Moses prayer GOD FORGIVE THEM FOR YOU ARE SLOW TO ANGER (Nu14-17:18) cross REFERENCES God's description of Himself (Ex34-06:07)

    Verse Nu14-17:18 discussing Moses' request to God to forgive the Jewish people for their sin of accepting the slander of the spies, states And now, I pray Thee, let the power of the L-rd be great, according as Thou hast spoken, saying: HaShem is
    • slow to anger, and
    • abudant in goodness,
    • forgiving iniquity and transgression,
    and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation.     Rashi interprets the underlined phrase as Thou hast spoken by referencing God's own listing of His attributes of mercy, listed, when God forgave the sin of the Golden calf, Ex34-06:07, And HaShem passed by before him, and proclaimed: 'The HaShem, HaShem, G-d, merciful and gracious,
    • slow to anger, and
    • abundant in goodness and truth; keeping mercy unto the thousandth generation,
    • forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin;
    and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and unto the fourth generation.'
