Howbeit I wrought with effect, for the sake of mine own Name, that it might not be profaned—before the eyes of the nations in whose midst they were,—before whose eyes I made myself known unto them, by bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.
Were it not that the taunt of the foe, I feared, Lest their adversaries should mistake,—Lest they should say—Our own hand, is exalted, It is not Yahweh, therefore who hath wrought all this!
Howbeit I wrought with effect for the sake of mine own Name,—that it should not b profaned in the eyes of the nations, in whose eyes I had brought them forth.
Then said Yahweh unto me, Though Moses and Samuel should stand before me, My soul could not be toward this people,—Send them away from before me And let them go forth.
