18. And Moses said, I beseech You, show me Your glory.
19. And God said, I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim My name, THE Lord, before you; for I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy and loving-kindness on whom I will show mercy and loving-kindness. [Rom. 9:15, 16.]
20. But, He said, You can not see My face, for no man shall see Me and live.
21. And the Lord said, Behold, there is a place beside Me, and you shall stand upon the rock,
22. And while My glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft of the rock and cover you with My hand until I have passed by.
23. Then I will take away My hand and you shall see My back; but My face shall not be seen.
