Exodus 33:17-23

1. 17 And the LORD said unto 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.

2. 18 And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.

3. 19 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 shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.

4. 20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.

5. 21 And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:

6. 22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:

7. 23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.
