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.
