Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now Moses used to take the tent and to pitch it outside the camp ,
far away from the camp ,
and he called it "
The Tent of Meeting ."
It happened that everyone who sought Yahweh went out to the Tent of Meeting ,
which was outside the camp .
*
It happened that when Moses went out to the Tent ,
that all the people rose up ,
and stood ,
everyone at their tent door ,
and watched Moses ,
until he had gone into the Tent .
*
It happened ,
when Moses entered into the Tent ,
that the pillar of cloud descended ,
stood at the door of the Tent ,
and spoke with Moses .
*
All the people saw the pillar of cloud stand at the door of the Tent ,
and all the people rose up and worshiped ,
everyone at their tent door .
*
Yahweh spoke to Moses face to face ,
as a man speaks to his friend .
He turned again into the camp ,
but his servant Joshua ,
the son of Nun ,
a young man ,
didn '
t depart out of the Tent .
*
Moses said to Yahweh , "
Behold ,
you tell me , '
Bring up this people :'
and you haven '
t let me know whom you will send with me .
Yet you have said , '
I know you by name ,
and you have also found favor in my sight .'
*
Now therefore ,
if I have found favor in your sight ,
please show me now your ways ,
that I may know you ,
so that I may find favor in your sight :
and consider that this nation is your people ."
*
He said , "
My presence will go with you ,
and I will give you rest ."
*
He said to him , "
If your presence doesn '
t go with me ,
don '
t carry us up from here .
*
For how would people know that I have found favor in your sight ,
I and your people ?
Isn '
t it in that you go with us ,
so that we are separated ,
I and your people ,
from all the people who are on the surface of the earth ?"
*
Yahweh said to Moses , "
I will do this thing also that you have spoken ;
for you have found favor in my sight ,
and I know you by name ."
*
He said , "
Please show me your glory ."
*
He said , "
I will make all my goodness pass before you ,
and will proclaim the name of Yahweh before you .
I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious ,
and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy ."
*
He said , "
You cannot see my face ,
for man may not see me and live ."
*
Yahweh also said , "
Behold ,
there is a place by me ,
and you shall stand on the rock .
*
It will happen ,
while my glory passes by ,
that I will put you in a cleft of the rock ,
and will cover you with my hand until I have passed by ;
*
then I will take away my hand ,
and you will see my back ;
but my face shall not be seen ."
