Deuteronomy 9:18-20

International Children’s Bible

¹⁸ Then I again bowed facedown on the ground before the Lord. I did this for 40 days and 40 nights. I did not eat bread or drink water. You had sinned by doing what the Lord said was evil. You made him angry. ¹⁹ I was afraid of the Lord’s anger and rage. He was angry enough with you to destroy you. But the Lord listened to me again. ²⁰ And the Lord was angry enough with Aaron to destroy him. But then I prayed for Aaron, too.
