Exodus 32:9

And again the Lord said to Moses: *I see that this people is stiff-necked:

Exodus 33:3.; Deuteronomy 9:13.

And again. The Septuagint omit this verse. Moses, at the first intimation of the people's sin, fell prostrate before the Lord, to sue for pardon, and pleaded the natural weakness of an ungovernable multitude, in order to extenuate their fault. This God admits. --- I see, etc. But while he seems bent on punishing them, to try his servant, he encourages him inwardly to pray with fervour. (Salien.)
