13. Now then, I pray, if I have found grace in Your eyes, show me Your ways, so that I may know You, so that I might find favor in Your sight. Consider also that this nation is Your people.”
14. “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest,” He answered.
15. But then he said to Him, “If Your presence does not go with me, don’t let us go up from here!
16. For how would it be known that I or your people have found favor in Your sight? Isn’t it because You go with us, that distinguishes us from all the people on the face of the earth?”
17. Adonai answered Moses, “I will also do what you have said, for you have found favor in My sight, and I know you by name.”
18. Then he said, “Please, show me Your glory!”
19. So He said, “I will cause all My goodness to pass before you, and call out the Name of Adonai before you. I will be gracious toward whom I will be gracious, and I will show mercy on whom I will be merciful.”
20. But He also said, “You cannot see My face, for no man can see Me and live.”
21. Then Adonai said, “See, a place near Me—you will stand on the rock.
22. 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 will see My back, but My face will not be seen.”
