1
And the
L
ORD
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
L
ORD
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
L
ORD
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
L
ORD
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
L
ORD
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
L
ORD
, 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
L
ORD
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
L
ORD
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
L
ORD
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:
And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.
