(Exo 33:1) And the Lord said unto Moses, Depart, {and} go up hence, thou and the people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it:
(Exo 33:2) And I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite:
(Exo 33:3) Unto a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of thee; for thou {art} a stiffnecked people: lest I consume thee in the way.
(Exo 33:4) And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments.
(Exo 33:5) For the Lord had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye {are} a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee.
(Exo 33:6) And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb.
(Exo 33:7) And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And it came to pass, {that} every one which sought the Lord went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which {was} without the camp.
(Exo 33:8) And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, {that} all the people rose up, and stood every man {at} his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone into the tabernacle.
(Exo 33:9) And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood {at} the door of the tabernacle, and {the Lord} talked with Moses.
(Exo 33:10) And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand {at} the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man {in} his tent door.
(Exo 33:11) And the Lord spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.
(Exo 33:12) And Moses said unto the Lord, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight.
(Exo 33:13) Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation {is} thy people.
(Exo 33:14) And he said, My presence shall go {with thee}, and I will give thee rest.
(Exo 33:15) And he said unto him, If thy presence go not {with me}, carry us not up hence.
(Exo 33:16) For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? {is it} not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that {are} upon the face of the earth.
(Exo 33:17) And the Lord said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.
(Exo 33:18) And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.
(Exo 33:19) And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.
(Exo 33:20) And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
(Exo 33:21) And the Lord said, Behold, {there is} a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
(Exo 33:22) And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a Clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:
(Exo 33:23) And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.
