Said [Moses]: "Take-me not to task for my having forgotten [myself], and be not hard on me on account of what I have done!"

Moses said: "Rebuke me not for forgetting, nor grieve me by raising difficulties in my case."

(Moses) said: Be not wroth with me that I forgot, and be not hard upon me for my fault.

He said: Blame me not for what I forgot, and be not hard upon me for what I did.

[Moses] said, "Do not blame me for what I forgot and do not cover me in my matter with difficulty."
