The Lord’s Glory

12 Moses said to the Lord, “Look, you have told me, ‘Lead this people up,’ but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. You said, ‘I know you by name,(A) and you have also found favor with me.’ 13 Now if I have indeed found favor with you, please teach me your ways,(B) and I will know you, so that I may find favor with you. Now consider that this nation is your people.”(C)

14 And he replied, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”(D)

15 “If your presence does not go,” Moses responded to him, “don’t make us go up from here. 16 How will it be known that I and your people have found favor with you unless you go with us? I and your people will be distinguished by this from all the other people on the face of the earth.”(E)

In this way, we shall be distinct, I and your people, from every people on the face of the earth.”(D)
