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.
