* And Jehovah spoke to Moses , Come , go up from here , you and the people whom you have caused to go up out from the land of Egypt , to the land which I swore to Abraham , to Isaac , and to Jacob , saying , I will give it to your seed . * And I will send an angel before your face , and I will drive out the Canaanite , the Amorite , and the Hittite and the Perizzite , and the Hivite , and the Jebusite ; * to a land flowing with milk and honey . For I will not go up among you , for you are a stiffnecked people , lest I consume you in the way . * And the people heard this evil word , and they mourned , and did not put any ornaments on themselves . * And Jehovah said to Moses , Say to the sons of Israel , You are a stiffnecked people ; in one instant I will go up among you and I will consume you . And now lay off from you your ornaments , that I may know what I shall do to you . * And the sons of Israel pulled off their ornaments , from Mount Horeb . * And Moses took the tent and pitched it outside the camp , far off from the camp . And he called it the tabernacle of the congregation . And it happened that everyone seeking Jehovah went to the tabernacle of the congregation which was outside the camp . * And it happened as Moses went to the tabernacle , the people all rose and stood , each one at the door of his tent . And they looked after Moses until he had gone into the tabernacle . * And it happened as Moses went into the tabernacle , the pillar of cloud would come down and stand at the door of the tabernacle . And He spoke with Moses . * And all the people would see the pillar of the cloud standing at the door of the tabernacle . And all the people rose and bowed themselves , each one at the door of his tent . * And Jehovah would speak to Moses face to face , as a man speaks to his friend . And he would return to the camp . And his attendant , Joshua the son of Nun , a young man did not leave the middle of the tabernacle . * And Moses said to Jehovah , Behold , You are saying to me , Cause this people to go up . And You , You have not told me whom You will send with me . And yet You have said , I know you by name , and also you have found favor in My eyes . * And now , if I have found favor in Your eyes , please make me see Your ways , and let me know You , so that I may find favor in Your eyes ; and consider that this nation is Your people . * And He said , My presence will go with you , and I will give you rest . * And the said to Him , If Your presence does not go , do not cause us to go up from here . * And now by what can it be known that I and Your people have found favor in Your eyes ? Is it not in Your going with us ? And we are distinguished , I and Your people , from all the nations which are on the face of the earth ? * And Jehovah said to Moses , This thing which you have spoken I will do . For you have found favor in My eyes , and I know you by name . * And he said , I pray , let me see Your glory . * And He said , I will cause all My goodness to pass before your face . And I will call out the name of Jehovah before your face . And I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious , and I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy . * And he said , You are not able to see My face ; for no man can see Me and live . * And Jehovah said , Behold , a place by Me ! And you shall stand on a rock . * And as My glory is passing it will be that I will put you in a cleft of the rock ; and I will cover My palm over you during My passing . * And I will remove My palm , and you shall see My back ; but My face cannot be seen .
