Exodus 10:18
So Moses left Pharaoh’s presence and appealed to the LORD.
BSB
ASV
And he went out from Pharaoh, and entreated Jehovah.
KJV
And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the Lord.

It was also as strong an argument for their repentance as the judgment itself; for by this it appeared that God is ready to forgive, and swift to show mercy.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
