Exodus 33:12–18

Moses and the Glory of Yahweh

¹²Then Moses said to Yahweh, “See, You say to me, ‘^aBring up this people!’ But You Yourself have not let me know ^bwhom You will send with me. ^cMoreover, You have said, ‘I have known you by name, and you have also found favor in My sight.’

¹³“So now, I pray You, if I have found favor in Your sight, ^alet me know Your ways that I may know You, so that I may find favor in Your sight. ^bSee also, that this nation is Your people.”

¹⁴And He said, “^aMy presence shall go with you, and ^bI will give you rest.”

¹⁵Then he said to Him, “^aIf Your presence does not go with us, do not lead us up from here.

¹⁶“Indeed, how then can it be known that I have found favor in Your sight, I and Your people? Is it not by Your going with us, so that ^awe, I and Your people, may be distinguished from all the other people who are upon the face of the ¹earth?”

¹⁷Then Yahweh said to Moses, “I will also do this thing of which you have spoken; ^afor you have found favor in My sight, and I have known you by name.”

^18aThen ¹Moses said, “I pray You, show me Your glory!”
