When Moses heard this, it was good in his eyes.
But Aaron said to Moses, “Behold, today they presented their sin offering and their burnt offering before Adonai. When things like these have happened to me, would it have been good in the eyes of Adonai if I had eaten the sin offering today?”
Adonai spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,
A crushed reed He will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out, until He brings forth justice to victory.
