12摩西对耶和华说：“你吩咐我带领这些百姓，却没有告诉我你将要派谁与我同去，只说，‘我凭名字认识你，你在我面前蒙了恩。’13我若已经在你面前蒙恩，就求你把你的道路指示我，好让我认识你，继续在你面前蒙恩。求你顾念这些百姓是你的子民。”14耶和华回答他说：“我必亲自与你同去，使你平安稳妥。”15摩西说：“你若不与我们同去，就不要让我们离开这里。16你若不与我们同去，谁会知道我和你的子民在你面前蒙了恩呢？岂不是因为你的同在才使我们不同于地上其他民族吗？”17耶和华回答说：“我答应你的请求，因为你在我面前蒙了恩，我凭名字认识你。”18摩西说：“求你向我彰显你的荣耀。”19耶和华说：“我必叫你看见我一切的美善，我要在你面前宣告我的名——耶和华，我要恩待谁就恩待谁，我要怜悯谁就怜悯谁。20但你不能看我的脸，因为凡看见的，都不能存活。21你要站在我旁边的磐石上，22我的荣耀经过你面前的时候，我会先把你安置在石缝里，用我的手遮掩你，直到我从你面前走过。23然后我会收回我的手，你就可以看见我的背，但看不到我的脸。”

The Command to Leave Sinai
1The Lord said to Moses, “Depart; go up from here, you and the people whom you have brought up out of the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, ‘To your offspring I will give it.’2I will send an angel before you, and I will drive out the Canaanites, the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.3Go up to a land flowing with milk and honey; but I will not go up among you, lest I consume you on the way, for you are a stiff-necked people.”4When the people heard this disastrous word, they mourned, and no one put on his ornaments.5For the Lord had said to Moses, “Say to the people of Israel, ‘You are a stiff-necked people; if for a single moment I should go up among you, I would consume you. So now take off your ornaments, that I may know what to do with you.’”6Therefore the people of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments, from Mount Horeb onward.
The Tent of Meeting
7Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it outside the camp, far off from the camp, and he called it the tent of meeting. And everyone who sought the Lord would go out to the tent of meeting, which was outside the camp.8Whenever Moses went out to the tent, all the people would rise up, and each would stand at his tent door, and watch Moses until he had gone into the tent.9When Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud would descend and stand at the entrance of the tent, and the Lord* would speak with Moses.10And when all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance of the tent, all the people would rise up and worship, each at his tent door.11Thus the Lord used to speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. When Moses turned again into the camp, his assistant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, would not depart from the tent.
Moses’ Intercession
12Moses said to the Lord, “See, you say to me, ‘Bring up this people,’ but you have not 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.’13Now therefore, if I have found favor in your sight, please show me now your ways, that I may know you in order to find favor in your sight. Consider too that this nation is your people.”14And he said, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”15And he said to him, “If your presence will not go with me, do not bring us up from here.16For how shall it be known that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people? Is it not in your going with us, so that we are distinct, I and your people, from every other people on the face of the earth?”17And the Lord said to Moses, “This very thing that you have spoken I will do, for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name.”18Moses said, “Please show me your glory.”19And he said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you and will proclaim before you my name ‘The Lord.’ And I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.20But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for man shall not see me and live.”21And the Lord said, “Behold, there is a place by me where you shall stand on the rock,22and while my glory passes by I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and I will cover you with my hand until I have passed by.23Then I will take away my hand, and you shall see my back, but my face shall not be seen.”
