Exodus 33
- 1And the Lord said to Moses, Leave, and go up from here, you and the people which you have brought up out of the land of Egypt, to the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, To your descendants will I give it:
- 2And I will send an angel before you. I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite:
- 3To a land flowing with milk and honey. For I will not go up among you. For you are a stiff-necked people: or else I will consume you in the way.
- 4And when the people heard these evil news, they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments.
- 5For the Lord had said to Moses, Say to the children of Israel, You are a stiff-necked people: I will come up in among you in a moment, and consume you: therefore now put off your ornaments from you, that I may know what to do to you.
- 6And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb.
- 7And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it outside the camp, far away from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And everyone who sought the Lord went out to the tabernacle of the congregation, which was outside the camp.
- 8When Moses went out to the tabernacle, all the people rose up, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he had gone into the tabernacle.
- 9As Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the Lord talked with Moses.
- 10And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshiped, every man in his tent door.
- 11And the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, did not leave the tabernacle.
- 12And Moses said to the Lord you say to me, Bring up this people: and you have not let me know who you will send with me. Yet you have said, I know you by name, and you have also found grace in my sight.
- 13Now therefore, please if I have found grace in your sight, show me now your way, that I may know you, that I may find grace in your sight: and consider that this nation is your people.
- 14And he said, My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest.
- 15And he said to him, If your presence does not go with me, do not carry us up from here.
- 16For in which shall it be known here that I and your people have found grace in your sight? Is it not in that you go with us? So we shall be separated, I and your people, from all the people that are on the face of the earth.
- 17And the Lord said to Moses, I will do this thing also that you have spoken. For you have found grace in my sight, and I know you by name.
- 18And he said, I urge you, show me your glory.
- 19And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you. Will be gracious to whoever I will be gracious to, and will show mercy on whoever I will show mercy on.
- 20And he said, You can not see my face. For there shall no man see me, and live.
- 21And the Lord said, There is a place by me, and you shall stand on a rock:
- 22And it will happen, while my glory passes by, that I will put you in a crack in the rock, and will cover you with my hand while I pass by:
- 23And I will take away my hand, and you shall see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.
