Deuteronomy 9:25

I lay flat on the ground before the Lord for forty days and nights, ¹  for he ²  had said he would destroy you.

I lay prostrate before the LORD those forty days and forty nights because the LORD had said he would destroy you.

"So I fell down before the LORD the forty days and nights, which I did because the LORD had said He would destroy you.

"That is why I fell down and lay before the LORD for forty days and nights when he was ready to destroy you.

When I was on my face, prostrate before GOD those forty days and nights after GOD said he would destroy you,

So I went down on my face in prayer before the Lord for forty days and forty nights as I did at first; because the Lord had said that he would put an end to you.

Throughout the forty days and forty nights that I lay prostrate before the LORD when the LORD intended to destroy you,

"Thus I prostrated myself before the LORD; forty days and forty nights I kept prostrating myself, because the LORD had said He would destroy you.

I lay flat on the ground before the Lord for forty days and nights, ¹  for he ²  had said he would destroy you.

¹ tn The Hebrew text includes “when I prostrated myself.” Since this is redundant, it has been left untranslated.

² tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 9:3.
