6 And Jehovah went passing by before his face and declaring:* “Jehovah, Jehovah, a God* merciful+ and gracious,+ slow to anger+ and abundant in loving-kindness*+ and truth,*+
23 However, Jehovah showed them favor+ and had mercy+ upon them and turned to them for the sake of his covenant+ with Abraham,+ Isaac+ and Jacob;+ and he did not want to bring them to ruin,+ and he did not cast them away from before his face until now.
