Exodus 34:6-7

Bible Text

[6] Yahweh passed by before him, and proclaimed, "Yahweh! Yahweh, a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth, [7] keeping loving kindness for thousands, forgiving iniquity and disobedience and sin; and that will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the children's children, on the third and on the fourth generation."

Egypt was the land where Israel had been enslaved before the exodus, and from which the Lord delivered them through Moses. In this covenant-renewal setting at Sinai, God’s self-declaration explains the character behind his mercy toward Israel despite their sin.
