Exodus 33

CHAPTER 33
1And the Lord spake to Moses, and said, Go, and go up from this place, thou, and thy people, that thou hast led out of the land of Egypt, into the land, which I have sworn to Abraham, and to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, I shall give it to thy seed.
2And I shall send thy before-goer, an angel, that I cast out Canaanite, and Amorite, and Hittite, and Perizzite, and Hivite, and Jebusite;
3and that thou enter into the land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up with thee, for thou art a people of hard noll, lest per-adventure I lose thee in the way.
4The people heard this worst word, and mourned, and none was clothed with his adorning, that is, precious clothes, by custom.
5And the Lord said to Moses, Speak thou to the sons of Israel, Thou art a people of hard noll; at once I shall go up in the midst of thee, and I shall do away thee; right now put thou away thine adorning, that is, crowns which they made in receiving of the law, that I know, what I shall do to thee.
6Therefore the sons of Israel putted away their adorning, from the hill of Horeb onwards.
7And Moses took the tabernacle, and set it far without the tents, and he called the name thereof the tabernacle of [the] bond of peace. And all the people that had any question, went out to the tabernacle of the bond of peace, without the tents.
8And when Moses went out to the tabernacle, all the people rose, and each man stood in the door of his tent, and they beheld after Moses, till he entered into the tent.
9Soothly when he entered into the tabernacle of the bond of peace, a pillar of cloud came down, and stood at the door of the tabernacle; and the Lord spake with Moses,
10while all men saw that the pillar of cloud stood at the door of the tabernacle; and they stood, and worshipped, at the doors of their tabernacles.
11Forsooth the Lord spake to Moses face to face, that is openly, as a man is wont to speak with his friend; and when Moses turned again into his tabernacle, Joshua, his servant, the son of Nun, a young man, went not out of the tabernacle.
12Forsooth Moses said to the Lord, Thou commandest, that I lead out this people, and thou hast not showed to me, whom thou shalt send with me, namely since thou saidest, I knew thee by name, and thou hast found grace before me.
13Therefore if I have found grace in thy sight, show thy face to me, that I know thee, and find grace before thine eyes; behold thy people, and this folk.
14And God said, My face shall go before thee, and I shall give rest to thee.
15And Moses said, If thou thyself shalt not go before us, lead thou not us out of this place;
16for in what thing may we know, I and thy people, that we have found grace in thy sight, if thou shalt not go with us, that we be glorified of all peoples that dwell on [the] earth?
17Forsooth the Lord said to Moses, I shall do also this word, that thou hast spoken; for thou hast found grace before me, and I know thyself by name.
18And Moses said, Lord, show thou thy glory to me.
19God answered, I shall show all my goodness to thee, and I shall call in the name of the Lord before thee, and I shall do mercy to whom I will, and I shall be merciful, either goodly, on whom it pleaseth me.
20And again God said, Thou mayest not see my face, for a man shall not see me, and live.
21And again God said, A place is with me, and thou shalt stand upon a stone;
22and when my glory shall pass by, I shall set [or put] thee in the hole of the stone, and I shall cover thee with my right hand, till that I pass by;
23and I shall take away mine hand, and thou shalt see mine hinder parts, forsooth thou mayest not see my face.
