Exodus 33:12-23

Young's Literal Translation

¹² And Moses saith unto Jehovah, `See, Thou art saying unto me, Bring up this people, and Thou hast not caused me to know whom Thou dost send with me; and Thou hast said, I have known thee by name, and also thou hast found grace in Mine eyes.

¹³ `And now, if, I pray Thee, I have found grace in Thine eyes, cause me to know, I pray Thee, Thy way, and I know Thee, so that I find grace in Thine eyes, and consider that this nation [is] Thy people;'

¹⁴ and He saith, `My presence doth go, and I have given rest to thee.'

¹⁵ And he saith unto Him, `If Thy presence is not going -- take us not up from this [place];

¹⁶ and in what is it known now, that I have found grace in Thine eyes -- I and Thy people -- is it not in Thy going with us? and we have been distinguished -- I and Thy people -- from all the people who [are] on the face of the ground.'

¹⁷ And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Even this thing which thou hast spoken I do; for thou hast found grace in Mine eyes, and I know thee by name.'

¹⁸ And he saith, `Shew me, I pray Thee, Thine honour;'

¹⁹ and He saith, `I cause all My goodness to pass before thy face, and have called concerning the Name of Jehovah before thee, and favoured him whom I favour, and loved him whom I love.'

²⁰ He saith also, `Thou art unable to see My face, for man doth not see Me, and live;'

²¹ Jehovah also saith, `Lo, a place [is] by Me, and thou hast stood on the rock,

²² and it hath come to pass, in the passing by of Mine honour, that I have set thee in a cleft of the rock, and spread out My hands over thee, until My passing by,

²³ and I have turned aside My hands, and thou hast seen My back parts, and My face is not seen.'
