33:7 1 Moses took 2 the tent 3 and pitched it outside the camp, at a good distance 4 from the camp, and he called it the tent of meeting. Anyone 5 seeking 6 the Lord would go out to the tent of meeting that was outside the camp.
33:8 And when Moses went out 7 to the tent, all the people would get up 8 and stand at the entrance to their tents 9 and watch 10 Moses until he entered the tent. 11 33:9 And 12 whenever Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud would descend and stand at the entrance of the tent, and the Lord 13 would speak with Moses. 14 33:10 When all the people would see the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance of the tent, all the people, each one at the entrance of his own tent, would rise and worship. 15 33:11 The Lord would speak to Moses face to face, 16 the way a person speaks 17 to a friend. Then Moses 18 would return to the camp, but his servant, Joshua son of Nun, a young man, did not leave the tent. 19
33:12 Moses said to the Lord, “See, you have been saying to me, ‘Bring this people up,’ 20 but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. But you said, ‘I know you by name, 21 and also you have found favor in my sight.’ 33:13 Now if I have found favor in your sight, show me 22 your way, that I may know you, 23 that I may continue to find 24 favor in your sight. And see 25 that this nation is your people.”
33:14 And the Lord 26 said, “My presence 27 will go with you, 28 and I will give you rest.” 29
33:15 And Moses 30 said to him, “If your presence does not go 31 with us, 32 do not take us up from here. 33 33:16 For how will it be known then that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people? Is it not by your going with us, so that we will be distinguished, I and your people, from all the people who are on the face of the earth?” 34
33:17 The Lord said to Moses, “I will do this thing also that you have requested, for you have found favor in my sight, and I know 35 you by name.”
33:18 And Moses 36 said, “Show me your glory.” 37
33:19 And the Lord 38 said, “I will make all my goodness 39 pass before your face, and I will proclaim the Lord by name 40 before you; I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, I will show mercy to whom I will show mercy.” 41 33:20 But he added, “You cannot see my face, for no one can 42 see me and live.” 43 33:21 The Lord said, “Here 44 is a place by me; you will station yourself 45 on a rock. 33:22 When my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock and will cover 46 you with my hand 47 while I pass by. 48 33:23 Then I will take away my hand, and you will see my back, 49 but my face must not be seen.” 50
