Exodus 33:17-23 Then the Lord said to Moses, Even this which thou hast said, I will do for thee; for thou hast found favour in my sight and I know thee above all men.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ Then the Lord said to Moses, Even this which thou hast said, I will do for thee; for thou hast found favour in my sight and I know thee above all men. ¹⁸ Upon which Moses said, Manifest thyself to me. ¹⁹ And he said, I will go before thee with my glory and I will call by my name The Lord, before thee; and I will have mercy on whom I please to have mercy; and I will have compassion on whomsoever I compassionate; ²⁰ but, said he, thou canst not see my face; for no man can see my face and live. ²¹ Then the Lord said, Behold there is a place near me. Thou shalt stand upon the rock, ²² and when my glory is passing by, I will place thee in a cleft of the rock and cover thee with my hand over thee, until I pass by, ²³ then I will withdraw my hand and then thou shalt see what are behind me but my face cannot be seen by thee.
