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

14 The Lord replied, “My Presence(C) will go with you, and I will give you rest.”(D)

15 Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence(E) 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?(F) What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?”(G)

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

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

19 And the Lord said, “I will cause all my goodness to pass(K) in front of you, and I will proclaim my name,(L) 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.(M) 20 But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for no one may see(N) me and live.”

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.
