And Moses said to the Lord: Thou commandest me to lead forth this people; and thou dost not let me know whom thou wilt send with me, especially whereas thou hast said: I know thee by name, and thou hast found favour in my sight. 13If therefore I have found favour in thy sight, shew me thy face, that I may know thee, and may find grace before thy eyes: look upon thy people this nation. 14And the Lord said: My face shall go before thee, and I will give thee rest. 15And Moses said: If thou thyself dost not go before, bring us not out of this place. 16For how shall we be able to know, I and thy people, that we have found grace in thy sight, unless thou walk with us, that we may be glorified by all people that dwell upon the earth? 17And the Lord said to Moses: This word also, which thou hast spoken, will I do; for thou hast found grace before me, and thee I have known by name. 18And he said: Shew me thy glory. 19He answered: I will shew thee all good, and I will proclaim in the name of the Lord before thee: and I will have mercy on whom I will, and I will be merciful to whom it shall please me. 20And again he said: Thou canst not see my face: for man shall not see me, and live. 21And again he said: Behold there is a place with me, and thou shalt stand upon the rock. 22And when my glory shall pass, I will set thee in a hole of the rock, and protect thee with my righthand till I pass: 23And I will take away my hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face thou canst not see.
