Exodus 33:17-23
New Living Translation
17 The Lord replied to Moses, “I will indeed do what you have asked, for I look favorably on you, and I know you by name.”
18 Moses responded, “Then show me your glorious presence.”
19 The Lord replied, “I will make all my goodness pass before you, and I will call out my name, Yahweh,[a] before you. For I will show mercy to anyone I choose, and I will show compassion to anyone I choose. 20 But you may not look directly at my face, for no one may see me and live.” 21 The Lord continued, “Look, stand near me on this rock. 22 As my glorious presence passes by, I will hide you in the crevice of the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by. 23 Then I will remove my hand and let you see me from behind. But my face will not be seen.”

New American Standard Bible
17 The Lord 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 Moses said, “Please, show me Your glory!” 19 And He said, “(C)I Myself will make all My goodness pass before you, and will proclaim the name of the Lord before you; and (D)I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show compassion to whom I will show compassion.” 20 He further said, “You cannot see My face, (E)for mankind shall not see Me and live!” 21 Then the Lord said, “Behold, there is a place [a]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 take My hand away and you shall see My back, but (H)My face shall not be seen.”
