Verse 25 is found in chapter 9 of Deuteronomy. Moses describes his intercession after the sin of the golden calf. He fasted, prostrated himself, and pleaded that God not destroy the people, appealing to the promise made to the patriarchs and to the honor of God’s name among the nations. The scene presents intercession as mediation within the covenant and shows that Israel’s survival depends on divine mercy.

Io mi gittai adunque in terra davanti al Signore, per que’ quaranta giorni, e quelle quaranta notti, che io stetti così prostrato; perciocchè il Signore avea detto di distruggervi.
E prostrei-me perante o SENHOR; aqueles quarenta dias e quarenta noites estive prostrado, porquanto o SENHOR dissera que vos queria destruir.
