5
For the LORD had said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites, ‘You are a stiff-necked people. If I were to go with you even for a moment, I might destroy you. Now take off your ornaments and I will decide what to do with you.’ ”
6 And the childern of Israel layde their goodly raymet from them eue vnder the mount Horeb.

So the Israelites stripped off their ornaments at Mount Horeb.

10 And when all the people sawe the clouden piler stonde in the tabernacle dore, they rose vp and worshipped: euery man in his tentdore.

12 And Moses sayde vnto the Lorde: se, thou saydest vnto me: lede this people forth, but thou shewest me not whom thou wilt send with me. And hast sayde moreouer: I knowe the by name and thou hast also founde grace in my syghte:
12
Moses said to the LORD, “You have been telling me, ‘Lead these people,’ but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. You have said, ‘I know you by name and you have found favor with me.’
13 Now therfore, yf I haue founde fauoure in thi syghte, the shewe me thy waye ad let me know the: that I maye fynde grace in thi sighte. And loke on this also, how that this nacyon is thi people.

15
Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here.
16 for how shall it be knowne now that both I and thi people haue founde fauoure in thi sighte, but in that thou goest with us: that both I and thi people haue a preemynence before all the people that are vpon the face of the erth.
16
How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?”
17 And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses: I will doo this also that thou hast sayde, for thou hast founde grace in my sighte, and I knowe the by name.
17
And the LORD said to Moses, “I will do the very thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name.”

20
But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live.”
21 And the Lorde sayde: beholde, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stonde apon a rocke,
21
Then the LORD said, “There is a place near me where you may stand on a rock.
22 and while my glorye goeth forth I will put the in a clyfte of the rocke, and will put myne hande apon the while I passe by.
22
When my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by.
23 And then I will take awaye myne hande, and thou shalt se my backe partes: but my face shall not be sene.
23
Then I will remove my hand and you will see my back; but my face must not be seen.”
