17 And the Lord said to Moses, “This very thing that you have spoken I will do, (A)for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name.” 18 Moses said, “Please (B)show me your glory.” 19 And he said, (C)“I will make all my goodness pass before you and will proclaim before you my name ‘The Lord.’ And (D)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 (E)man shall not see me and live.” 21 And the Lord said, “Behold, 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 (F)cleft of the rock, and I will (G)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 (H)not be seen.”

17 And Hashem said unto Moshe, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken; for thou hast found chen in My sight, and I know thee by shem.

18 And he said, show me now Thy kavod.

19 And He said, I will make kol tuvi (all My goodness) pass in front of thee, and I will call out with the Shem of Hashem before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show rachamim on whom I will show rachamim.

20 And He said, Thou canst not see My face; for there shall no adam see Me, and live.

21 And Hashem said, Hinei, there is a place near Me, and thou shalt stand upon the tzur;

22 And it shall come to pass, while My kavod passeth by, that I will put thee in a cleft of the tzur, and will cover thee with My yad until I pass by;

23 And I will take away Mine yad, and thou shalt see My back; but My face shall not be seen.
