Exodus 33:12-16 ▼

12 Moses told the LORD, |Look, you have told me, 'Bring up this people,' but you haven't let me know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, 'I know you by name,' and also, 'You have found favor in my sight.'

13 Now, if I've found favor in your sight, please show me your ways so I may know you in order to find favor in your sight. And remember, this nation is your people.|

14 He said, |My presence will go with you, and I'll give you rest.|

15 Then Moses told the LORD, |If your presence does not go with us, don't bring us up from here.

16 Otherwise, how shall it be known that your people and I have received favor from you, unless you go with us and that we, your people and I, are distinguished from all the people on the surface of the earth?|
