17. And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Even this word you have spoken I shall do, for you have found favour in My eyes, and I know you by name.”
18. Then he said, “Please, show me Your esteem.”
19. And He said, “I shall cause all My goodness to pass before you, and I shall proclaim the Name of יהוה before you. And I shall favour him whom I favour, and shall have compassion on him whom I have compassion.”
20. But He said, “You are unable to see My face, for no man does see Me and live.”
21. And יהוה said, “See, there is a place with Me! And you shall stand on the rock.
22. “And it shall be, while My esteem passes by, that I shall put you in the cleft of the rock and cover you with My hand while I pass by.
23. “Then I shall take away My hand and you shall see My back, but My face shall not be seen.”
