What if your child were born with a congenital disease? Would you give up the child and just give birth to another healthy child? Even if chances are ever so very slim, would you not try to heal the child until the last moment? During the journey to Canaan, God said He would destroy the sons of Israel who had sinned and form a great nation through Moses. But Moses asked God to forgive the Israelites even risking his own life for them. This is because he understood the depth of God's love with which God wanted to save people even though they should have been destroyed according to justice.
