Then Moses said to the LORD, "See, You say to me, '^(C1)Bring up this people!' But You Yourself have not let me know ^(C2)whom You will send with me. ^(C3)Moreover, You have said, 'I have known you by name, and you have also found favor in My sight.'

"Now then, if I have found favor in Your sight in any way, please ^(C1)let me know Your ways so that I may know You, in order that I may find favor in Your sight. ^(C2)Consider too, that this nation is Your people."

And He said, "^(C1)My presence shall go with you, and ^(C2)I will give you rest."

Then he said to Him, "^(C1)If Your presence does not go with us, do not lead us up from here.

"For 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 ^(C1)we, I and Your people, may be distinguished from all the other people who are on the face of the ^(F1)earth?"

The LORD said to Moses, "I will also do this thing of which you have spoken; ^(C1)for you have found favor in My sight and I have known you by name."

^(C1)Then Moses said, "Please, show me Your glory!"

And He said, "^(C1)I Myself will make all My goodness pass before you, and will proclaim the name of the LORD before you; and ^(C2)I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show compassion to whom I will show compassion."

He further said, "You cannot see My face, ^(C1)for mankind shall not see Me and live!"

Then the LORD said, "Behold, there is a place ^(F1)by Me, and ^(C1)you shall stand there on the rock;

and it will come about, while My glory is passing by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock and ^(C1)cover you with My hand until I have passed by.

"Then I will take My hand away and you shall see My back, but ^(C1)My face shall not be seen."
