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.”

17 And the Lord said to Moses, “This very thing that you have spoken I will do; for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name.” 18 Moses said, “I pray thee, show me thy glory.” 19 And he said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you, and will proclaim before you my name ‘The Lord’; and 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 man shall not see me and live.” 21 And the Lord said, “Behold, there is a place by me where you shall stand upon the rock; 22 and while my glory passes by I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and I will 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 not be seen.”
