* And the LORD said to Moses , Depart , go up from here , thou and the people which thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt , to the land which I swore to Abraham , to Isaac , and to Jacob , saying , To thy seed will I give it : * 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 : * To a land flowing with milk and honey : for I will not go up in the midst of thee ; for thou a stiffnecked people : lest I consume thee in the way . * And when the people heard these evil tidings , they mourned : and no man put on him his ornaments . * For the LORD had said to Moses , Say to the children of Israel , Ye 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 to thee . * And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb . * And Moses took the tabernacle , and pitched it outside the camp , far from the camp , and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation . And it came to pass , every one who sought the LORD went out to the tabernacle of the congregation , which outside the camp . * And it came to pass , when Moses went out to the tabernacle , all the people rose , and stood every man his tent door , and looked after Moses , until he had gone into the tabernacle . * And it came to pass , as Moses entered into the tabernacle , the cloudy pillar descended , and stood the door of the tabernacle , and talked with Moses . * And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand the tabernacle door : and all the people rose and worshipped , every man his tent door . * And the LORD spoke to Moses face to face , as a man speaketh to 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 to the LORD , See , thou sayest to 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 . * 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 thy people . * And he said , My presence shall go , and I will give thee rest . * And he said to him , If thy presence go not , lead us not up from here . * For how then shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight ? not in that thou goest with us ? so shall we be separated , I and thy people , from all the people that upon the face of the earth . * And the LORD said to 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 . * And he said , I beseech thee , show me thy glory . * 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 . * And he said , Thou canst not see my face : for there shall no man see me , and live . * And the LORD said , Behold , a place by me , and thou shalt stand upon a rock : * And it shall come to pass , while my glory passeth by , that I will put thee in a cleft of the rock , and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by : * And I will take away my hand , and thou shalt see my back parts : but my face shall not be seen .
