Lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.

Verse 28 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.

daß nicht das Land sage, daraus du uns geführt hast: Der HERR konnte sie nicht ins Land bringen, das er ihnen verheißen hatte, und hat sie darum ausgeführt, daß er ihnen gram war, daß er sie tötete in der Wüste!
Porque no digan los de la tierra de donde nos sacaste: Por cuanto no pudo Jehová introducirlos en la tierra que les había dicho, o porque los aborrecía, los sacó para matarlos en el desierto.
no sea que los de la tierra de donde nos sacaste digan: ‘Jehová los sacó para hacerlos morir en el desierto porque no pudo llevarlos a la tierra que les había prometido y porque los aborrecía’.
de peur que le pays d'où tu nous as fait sortir ne dise: C'est parce que l'Eternel n'avait pas le pouvoir de les mener dans le pays qu'il leur avait promis, et c'est parce qu'il les haïssait, qu'il les a fait sortir pour les faire mourir dans le désert.
che talora que’ del paese, onde tu ci hai tratti fuori, non dicano: Il Signore li ha tratti fuori per farli morire nel deserto, perchè non poteva condurli nel paese ch’egli avea lor promesso, e perchè li odiava.
Para que o povo da terra donde nos tiraste não diga: Porquanto o SENHOR não os pôde introduzir na terra de que lhes tinha falado, e porque os odiava, os tirou para matá-los no deserto;
免得你領我們出來的那地之人說:耶和華因為不能將這百姓領進他所應許之地,又因恨他們,所以領他們出去,要在曠野殺他們。
