14. The Lord said, “I will go with you, and I will give you victory.”
15. Moses replied, “If you do not go with us, don't make us leave this place.
16. How will anyone know that you are pleased with your people and with me if you do not go with us? Your presence with us will distinguish us from any other people on earth.”
17. The Lord said to Moses, “I will do just as you have asked, because I know you very well and I am pleased with you.”
18. Then Moses requested, “Please, let me see the dazzling light of your presence.”
19. The Lord answered, “I will make all my splendour pass before you and in your presence I will pronounce my sacred name. I am the Lord, and I show compassion and pity on those I choose.
20. I will not let you see my face, because no one can see me and stay alive,
21. but here is a place beside me where you can stand on a rock.
