Exodus 33 |
1 |
And the LORD said unto Moses, Depart, and go up hence, thou
and the people which thou hast brought up out of the land of
Egypt, unto the land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to
Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it: |
2 |
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: |
3 |
Unto a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up
in the midst of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked people: lest I
consume thee in the way. |
4 |
And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned:
and no man did put on him his ornaments. |
5 |
For the LORD had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of
Israel, Ye are 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 unto
thee. |
6 |
And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their
ornaments by the mount Horeb. |
7 |
And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the
camp, afar off from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the
congregation. And it came to pass, that every one which sought
the LORD went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which
was without the camp. |
8 |
And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle,
that all the people rose up, and stood every man at his tent
door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone into the
tabernacle. |
9 |
And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle,
the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the
tabernacle, and the Lord talked with Moses. |
10 |
And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the
tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every
man in his tent door. |
11 |
And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh
unto 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. |
12 |
And Moses said unto the LORD, See, thou sayest unto 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. |
13 |
Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy
sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find
grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy
people. |
14 |
And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give
thee rest. |
15 |
And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry
us not up hence. |
16 |
For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have
found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us?
so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people
that are upon the face of the earth. |
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. |
18 |
And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory. |
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. |
20 |
And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no
man see me, and live. |
21 |
And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou
shalt stand upon a rock: |
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: |
23 |
And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back
parts: but my face shall not be seen. |
