Legacy Standard Bible
17 Then Yahweh said to Moses, “I will also do this thing of which you have spoken; (A)for you have found favor in My sight, and I have known you by name.” 18 (B)Then [a]Moses said, “I pray You, show me Your glory!” 19 And He said, “(C)I Myself will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of Yahweh before you; and (D)I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will show compassion on whom I will show compassion.” 20 But He said, “You cannot see My face, (E)for no man can see Me and live!” 21 Then Yahweh said, “Behold, there is a place [b]by Me, and (F)you shall stand there on the rock; 22 and it will come about, while My glory is passing by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock and (G)cover you with My hand until I have passed by. 23 Then I will remove My hand, and you shall see My back, but (H)My face shall not be seen.”

18 Moses said, “Please show me your glorious presence.”
19 The Lord said, “I’ll make all my goodness pass in front of you, and I’ll proclaim before you the name, ‘The Lord.’ I will be kind to whomever I wish to be kind, and I will have compassion to whomever I wish to be compassionate. 20 But,” the Lord said, “you can’t see my face because no one can see me and live.” 21 The Lord said, “Here is a place near me where you will stand beside the rock. 22 As my glorious presence passes by, I’ll set you in a gap in the rock, and I’ll cover you with my hand until I’ve passed by. 23 Then I’ll take away my hand, and you will see my back, but my face won’t be visible.”
