Psalm 106:23
“Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 106Meaning
Moses is remembered as an intercessor, not as a leader seeking the people's destruction; the scene highlights advocacy amid judgment.
Wilderness rebellion and intercession
The psalm remembers craving, envy, judgment, the golden calf, and Moses standing in the breach.
Read carefully
Advocacy before God does not require suppressing truth, evidence, victim protection, or due process.
Reflection
Combine truth about wrongdoing with prayer, advocacy, and desire for restoration.
