Exodus 33:12-23

Common English Bible CEB

12 Moses said to the LORD, "Look, you've been telling me, ‘Lead these people forward.' But you haven't told me whom you will send with me. Yet you've assured me, ‘I know you by name and think highly of you.'

13 Now if you do think highly of me, show me your ways so that I may know you and so that you may really approve of me. Remember too that this nation is your people."

14 The LORD replied, "I'll go myself, and I'll help you."

15 Moses replied, "If you won't go yourself, don't make us leave here.

16 Because how will anyone know that we have your special approval, both I and your people, unless you go with us? Only that distinguishes us, me and your people, from every other people on the earth."

17 The LORD said to Moses, "I'll do exactly what you've asked because you have my special approval, and I know you by name."

18 Moses said, "Please show me your glorious presence."

19 The LORD said, "I'll make all my goodness pass in front of you, and I'll proclaim before you the name, ‘The LORD.' I will be kind to whomever I wish to be kind, and I will have compassion to whomever I wish to be compassionate.

20 But," the LORD said, "you can't see my face because no one can see me and live."

21 The LORD said, "Here is a place near me where you will stand beside the rock.

22 As my glorious presence passes by, I'll set you in a gap in the rock, and I'll cover you with my hand until I've passed by.

23 Then I'll take away my hand, and you will see my back, but my face won't be visible."

12 Moses said to the Lord, "See, you have said to me, "Bring up this people'; but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, "I know you by name, and you have also found favor in my sight.'

13 Now if I have found favor in your sight, show me your ways, so that I may know you and find favor in your sight. Consider too that this nation is your people."

14 He said, "My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest."

15 And he said to him, "If your presence will not go, do not carry us up from here.

16 For how shall it be known that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people, unless you go with us? In this way, we shall be distinct, I and your people, from every people on the face of the earth."

17 The Lord said to Moses, "I will do the very thing that you have asked; for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name."

18 Moses said, "Show me your glory, I pray."

19 And he said, "I will make all my goodness pass before you, and will proclaim before you the name, "The Lord'; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.

20 But," he said, "you cannot see my face; for no one shall see me and live."

21 And the Lord continued, "See, there is a place by me where you shall stand on the rock;

22 and while my glory passes by I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and I will cover you with my hand until I have passed by;

23 then I will take away my hand, and you shall see my back; but my face shall not be seen."
