“And refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage: but thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsookest them not.”
King James Version (KJV)
9:17 Made - Designed, and resolved to do so, #Numb 14:4|, and therefore they are said to do so, as Abraham is said to have offered up Isaac, #Heb 11:17|, because he intended to do it.
