Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
12 Then, Moses said to the LORD, “See, You say to me, ‘Lead this people forth.’ And You have not shown me whom You will send with me. You have also said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found grace in My sight.’
13 “Now, therefore, I pray, if I have found favor in Your sight, show me Your way, so that I may know You, so that I may find grace in Your sight. Also, consider that this nation is Your people.”
14 And He answered, “My presence shall go with you; and I will give you rest.”
15 Then he said to Him, “If Your presence does not go with us, do not carry us from here.
16 “And how, then, shall it be known that I and Your people have found favor in Your sight? Shall it not be when You go with us? So that I and Your people shall be set apart from all the people on Earth?”
17 And the LORD said to Moses, “I will also do this which You have said. For you have found grace in My sight; and I know you by name.”
18 Again he said, “I beg You, show me Your Glory.”
19 And He answered, “I will make all My goodness go before you. And I will proclaim the Name of the LORD before you. For I will show mercy to whom I will show mercy and will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.”
20 Furthermore, He said, “You cannot see My face. For no man shall see Me there and live.”
21 Also, the LORD said, “Behold, a place by Me. And you shall stand upon the rock.
22 “And 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 “Afterward, I will take away My hand and you shall see the back of Me. But My face shall not be seen.”
