17 And the Lord said to Moses, “I will do the very thing you have asked,(A) because I am pleased with you and I know you by name.”(B)

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

19 And the Lord said, “I will cause all my goodness to pass(D) in front of you, and I will proclaim my name,(E) 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.(F) 20 But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for no one may see(G) 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(H) and cover you with my hand(I) 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.”

17 And the Lord said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.

18 And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.

19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.

20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.

21 And the Lord said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:

22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:

23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.
