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, show 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 show mercy on whom I will show mercy.”

²⁰ And He said, “Thou canst not see My face, for there shall no man see Me and live.”

²¹ And the Lord said, “Behold, there is a place by Me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock.

²² And it shall come to pass, while My glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with My hand while I pass by;

²³ and I will take away Mine hand, and thou shalt see My back parts, but My face shall not be seen.”
