to keep his wrath from destroying them.

If Moses, His chosen one, had not stood in the gap before Him,

To turn away His wrath from destroying them.

Had not Moses His chosen one stood in the breach before Him,

To turn away His wrath from destroying them.

23Therefore He said He would destroy them,

[And He would have done so] had not Moses, His chosen one, stepped into the gap before Him,

To turn away His wrath from destroying them. [Ex 32:10, 11, 32]

23So He said He would destroy them—

had not Moses His chosen one

stood before Him in the breach

to divert His wrath from destroying them.

But Moses, his chosen one,

stood up for them.

He kept God’s anger from destroying them.
