Exodus 33:16-23 ▼

16 and in what is it known now, that I have found grace in Your eyes—I and Your people—is it not in Your going with us? And we have been distinguished—I and Your people—from all the people who [are] on the face of the ground.”

17 And YHWH says to Moses, “Even this thing which you have spoken I do; for you have found grace in My eyes, and I know you by name.”

18 And he says, “Please show me Your glory”;

19 and He says, “I cause all My goodness to pass before your face, and have called concerning the Name of YHWH before you, and favored him whom I favor, and loved him whom I love.”

20 He also says, “You are unable to see My face, for man does not see Me and live”;

21 YHWH also says, “Behold, a place [is] by Me, and you have stood on the rock,

22 and it has come to pass, in the passing by of My glory, that I have set you in a cleft of the rock, and spread out My hands over you until My passing by,

23 and I have turned aside My hands, and you have seen My back parts, and My face is not seen.”
