When Moses heard this, he was satisfied.
Aaron replied to Moses, “Today they sacrificed their sin offering and their burnt offering before the Lord, but such things as this have happened to me. Would the Lord have been pleased if I had eaten the sin offering today?”
The Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out, till he has brought justice through to victory.
