EX-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:

EX-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:

EX-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.

EX-33:4  And when the people heard these evil tidings, they

mourned:

and no man did put on him his ornaments.

EX-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.

EX-33:6  And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their

ornaments by the mount Horeb.

EX-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.

EX-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.

EX-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.

EX-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.

EX-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.

EX-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.

EX-33:13  Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in

thy

sight, show 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.

EX-33:14  And he said, My presence shall go [with thee], and I

will

give thee rest.

EX-33:15  And he said unto him, If thy presence go not [with me],

carry us not up hence.

EX-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.

EX-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.

EX-33:18  And he said, I beseech thee, show me thy glory.

EX-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 show mercy on whom

I

will show mercy.

EX-33:20  And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there

shall

no man see me, and live.

EX-33:21  And the LORD said, Behold, [there is] a place by me,

and

thou shalt stand upon a rock:

EX-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:

EX-33:23  And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my

back

parts: but my face shall not be seen.
