* And the LORD said unto Moses , Depart , [and ] (note :)The land of Canaan was surrounded by hills : so those who entered it , must go up by the hills .(:note ) 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 : * And I will send an Angel before thee &amp ; will cast out the Canaanites , the Amorites , and the Hittites , and the Perizzites , the Hiuites , and the Iebusites : * To a lande , I say , that floweth with milke and hony : for I will not goe vp with thee , because thou art a stiffe necked people , least I consume thee in the way . * And when the people heard this euill tydings , they sorowed , and no man put on his best rayment . * 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 (note :)That I may either show mercy if you repent , or else punish your rebellion .(:note ) what to do unto thee . * So the children of Israel layed their good raiment from them , after Moses came downe from the mount Horeb . * And Moses took the tabernacle , and pitched it without the camp , afar off from the camp , and called it the (note :)That is , the tabernacle of the congregation : so called because the people turned to it , when they needed to be instructed of the Lord 's will .(:note ) 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 . * And when Moses went out vnto the Tabernacle , all the people rose vp , and stood euery man at his tent doore , and looked after Moses , vntil he was gone into the Tabernacle . * And assoone as Moses was entred into the Tabernacle , the cloudie pillar descended &amp ; stood at the doore of the Tabernacle , and the Lord talked with Moses . * Nowe when all the people saw the cloudie pillar stand at the Tabernacle doore , all the people rose vp , and worshipped euery man in his tent doore . * And the LORD spake unto Moses (note :)Most clearly and familiarly of all others , ( Num_12:7-8 ; Deu_34:10 )(:note ) 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 . * 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 (note :)I care for you and will preserve you in your calling .(:note ) name , and thou hast also found grace in my sight . * Nowe therefore , I pray thee , if I haue founde fauour in thy sight , shewe mee nowe thy way , that I may knowe thee , and that I may finde grace in thy sight : consider also that this nation is thy people . * And he said , My (note :)Signifying that the Israelites would exceed all other people , through God 's favour ; ( Exo_33:16 ).(:note ) presence shall go [with thee ], and I will give thee rest . * Then he sayd vnto him , If thy presence go not with vs , cary vs not hence . * And wherein nowe shal it be knowen , that I and thy people haue found fauour in thy sight ? Shall it not be when thou goest with vs ? so I , and thy people shall haue preeminence before all the people that are vpon the earth . * And the Lord sayde vnto Moses , I will doe this also that thou hast saide : for thou hast founde grace in my sight , and I knowe thee by name . * And he said , I beseech thee , shew me thy (note :)Your face , your substance , and your majesty .(:note ) glory . * And he said , I will make all my (note :)My mercy and fatherly care .(:note ) goodness pass before thee , and I will See ( Exo_34:6-7 ). proclaim the name of the LORD before thee ; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious , and will shew For finding nothing in man that deserves mercy , he will freely give his . mercy on whom I will shew mercy . * And he said , Thou canst not see my face : for there shall no man see me , and (note :)For Moses did not see his face in full majesty , but as man 's weakness could bear .(:note ) live . * And the LORD said , Behold , [there is ] a place by (note :)In mount Horeb .(:note ) me , and thou shalt stand upon a rock : * And while my glory passeth by , I will put thee in a cleft of the rocke , and will couer thee with mine hand whiles I passe by . * And I will take away mine hand , and thou shalt see my (note :)As much of my glory as in this mortal life you are able to see .(:note ) back parts : but my face shall not be seen .
