And Mosheh made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped.
And he said: If now I have found grace in your sight, O Adonai, let my Adonai, I pray you, go among us; for it is a stiff-necked people;
and pardon our iniquity and our sin,
and take us for your inheritance.
Shemoth (Exodus) 34:8-9
