14:15 Now [if] thou shalt kill [all] this people as {g} one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,
(g) So that none shall escape.
14:11-19 Moses made humble intercession for Israel. Herein he was a type of Christ, who prayed for those that despitefully used him. The pardon of a nation's sin, is the turning away the nation's punishment; and for that Moses is here so earnest. Moses argued that, consistently with God's character, in his abundant mercies, he could forgive them.
