Deuteronomy 9 · Grade 2

Moses Prayed for Them

Name Date

Read the Story

Moses said, God will go ahead of you into the land. But it is not because you are good. You did wrong many times.

At the mountain, the people made a calf out of gold. They prayed to it. Moses came down with two stones. He broke them. The people had broken God's rules.

Then Moses lay down before God for forty days and nights. He begged God not to destroy His people, because God had saved them. He asked God to remember Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And God listened to Moses.

Memory Verse

I prayed to Yahweh, and said, “Lord Yahweh, don’t destroy your people and your inheritance that you have redeemed through your greatness, that you have brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
