Exodus 33:17-23
Modern English Version
17 The Lord said to Moses, “I will do this thing of which you have spoken, for you have found favor in My sight, and I know you by name.”
18 Then Moses said, “I pray, show me Your glory.”
19 Then He said, “I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.” 20 He said, “You cannot see My face, for no man can see Me and live.”
21 Then the Lord said, “Indeed, there is a place by Me. You must stand on the rock. 22 While My glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft of the rock and will cover you with My hand while I pass by. 23 Then I will take away My hand, and you will see My back, but My face may not be seen.”

17 So the Lord said to Moses, (A)“I will also do this thing that you have spoken; for you have found grace in My sight, and I know you by name.”
18 And he said, “Please, show me (B)Your glory.”
19 Then He said, “I will make all My (C)goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you. (D)I will be gracious to whom I will be (E)gracious, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.” 20 But He said, “You cannot see My face; for (F)no man shall see Me, and live.” 21 And the Lord said, “Here is a place by Me, and you shall stand on the rock. 22 So it shall be, while My glory passes by, that I will put you (G)in the cleft of the rock, and will (H)cover you with My hand while I pass by. 23 Then I will take away My hand, and you shall see My back; but My face shall (I)not be seen.”
