Exodus 33:20 In-Context

18 Moses said, "Please. Let me see your Glory."
19 God said, "I will make my Goodness pass right in front of you; I'll call out the name, God, right before you. I'll treat well whomever I want to treat well and I'll be kind to whomever I want to be kind."
20 God continued, "But you may not see my face. No one can see me and live."
21 God said, "Look, here is a place right beside me. Put yourself on this rock.
22 When my Glory passes by, I'll put you in the cleft of the rock and cover you with my hand until I've passed by.
