16. And by what will it be known then that I have found favor in your eyes, I and your people? Is it not by your going with us? And so we will be distinguished, I and your people, from all the people who are on the face of the ground.”
17. And Yahweh said to Moses, “Also I will do this thing that you have spoken, because you have found favor in my eyes and I have known you by name.”
18. And he said, “Please show me your glory.”
19. And he said, “I myself will cause all my goodness to pass over before you, and I will proclaim the name of Yahweh before you, and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will show compassion to whom I will show compassion.”
20. But he said, “You are not able to see my face, because a human will not see me and live.”
21. And Yahweh said, “There is a place with me, and you will stand on the rock.
22. And when my glory passes over, I will put you in the rock’s crevice, and I will cover you with my hand until I pass over.
23. And I will remove my hand, and you will see my back, but my face will not be visible.”
