¹⁷ And Yahweh said to Moses, “Also I will do this thing that you have spoken, because you have found favor in my eyes and I have known you by name.”

¹⁸ And he said, “Please show me your glory.”

¹⁹ And he said, “I myself will cause all my goodness to pass over before you, and I will proclaim the name of Yahweh before you, and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will show compassion to whom I will show compassion.” ²⁰ But he said, “You are not able to see my face, because a human will not see me and live.” ²¹ And Yahweh said, “There is a place with me, and you will stand on the rock. ²² And^[a] when my glory passes over, I will put you in the rock’s crevice, and I will cover you with my hand until I pass over. ²³ And I will remove my hand, and you will see my back, but my face will not be visible.”
