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."

New International Version NIV

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 If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people.”

14 The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”

15 Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here.

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 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.”

18 Then Moses said, “Now show me your glory.”

19 And the LORD said, “I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the LORD, in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.

20 But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live.”

21 Then the LORD said, “There is a place near me where you may stand on a rock.

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 Then I will remove my hand and you will see my back; but my face must not be seen.”
