Exodus 34:6-7, NLT

6The Lord passed in front of Moses, calling out,

“Yahweh!*34:6 See note on 34:5. The Lord!

The God of compassion and mercy!

I am slow to anger

and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness.

7I lavish unfailing love to a thousand generations.*34:7 Hebrew for thousands.

even children in the third and fourth generations.”
