1
And the LORD[H3068]said[H1696] unto Moses[H4872], Depart[H3212], and go up[H5927] hence, thou and the people[H5971] which thou hast brought up[H5927] out of the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714], unto the land[H776] which I sware[H7650] unto Abraham[H85], to Isaac[H3327], and to Jacob[H3290], saying[H559], Unto thy seed[H2233] will I give[H5414] it:
2
And I will send[H7971] an angel[H4397]before[H6440] thee; and I will drive out[H1644] the Canaanite[H3669], the Amorite[H567], and the Hittite[H2850], and the Perizzite[H6522], the Hivite[H2340], and the Jebusite[H2983]:
3
Unto a land[H776]flowing[H2100] with milk[H2461] and honey[H1706]: for I will not go up[H5927] in the midst[H7130] of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked[H7186]people[H5971]: lest I consume[H3615] thee in the way[H1870].
4
And when the people[H5971]heard[H8085] these evil[H7451]tidings[H1697], they mourned[H56]: and no man[H376] did put[H7896] on him his ornaments[H5716].
5
For the LORD[H3068] had said[H559] unto Moses[H4872], Say[H559] unto the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], Ye are a[H259]stiffnecked[H7186]people[H5971]: I will come up[H5927] into the midst[H7130] of thee in a[H259]moment[H7281], and consume[H3615] thee: therefore now put off[H3381] thy ornaments[H5716] from thee, that I may know[H3045] what to do[H6213] unto thee.
6
And the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478]stripped[H5337] themselves of their ornaments[H5716] by the mount[H2022]Horeb[H2722].
7
And Moses[H4872]took[H3947] the tabernacle[H168], and pitched[H5186] it without[H2351] the camp[H4264], afar off[H7368] from the camp[H4264], and called[H7121] it the Tabernacle[H168] of the congregation[H4150]. And it came to pass, that every one which sought[H1245] the LORD[H3068] went out[H3318] unto the tabernacle[H168] of the congregation[H4150], which was without[H2351] the camp[H4264].
8
And it came to pass, when Moses[H4872] went out[H3318] unto the tabernacle[H168], that all the people[H5971] rose up[H6965], and stood[H5324] every man[H376] at his tent[H168]door[H6607], and looked[H5027]after[H310]Moses[H4872], until he was gone[H935] into the tabernacle[H168].
9
And it came to pass, as Moses[H4872]entered[H935] into the tabernacle[H168], the cloudy[H6051]pillar[H5982]descended[H3381], and stood[H5975] at the door[H6607] of the tabernacle[H168], and the LORD talked[H1696] with Moses[H4872].
10
And all the people[H5971]saw[H7200] the cloudy[H6051]pillar[H5982]stand[H5975] at the tabernacle[H168]door[H6607]: and all the people[H5971] rose up[H6965] and worshipped[H7812], every man[H376] in his tent[H168]door[H6607].
11
And the LORD[H3068]spake[H1696] unto Moses[H4872]face[H6440] to face[H6440], as a man[H376]speaketh[H1696] unto his friend[H7453]. And he turned again[H7725] into the camp[H4264]: but his servant[H8334]Joshua[H3091], the son[H1121] of Nun[H5126], a young man[H5288], departed[H4185] not out[H8432] of the tabernacle[H168].
12
And Moses[H4872]said[H559] unto the LORD[H3068], See[H7200], thou sayest[H559] unto me, Bring up[H5927] this people[H5971]: and thou hast not let me know[H3045] whom thou wilt send[H7971] with me. Yet thou hast said[H559], I know[H3045] thee by name[H8034], and thou hast also found[H4672]grace[H2580] in my sight[H5869].
13
Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found[H4672]grace[H2580] in thy sight[H5869], shew[H3045] me now thy way[H1870], that I may know[H3045] thee, that I may find[H4672]grace[H2580] in thy sight[H5869]: and consider[H7200] that this nation[H1471] is thy people[H5971].
14
And he said[H559], My presence[H6440] shall go[H3212] with thee, and I will give thee rest[H5117].
15
And he said[H559] unto him, If thy presence[H6440]go[H1980] not with me, carry us not up[H5927] hence.
16
For wherein shall it be known[H3045]here[H645] that I and thy people[H5971] have found[H4672]grace[H2580] in thy sight?[H5869] is it not in that thou goest[H3212] with us? so shall we be separated[H6395], I and thy people[H5971], from all the people[H5971] that are upon the face[H6440] of the earth[H127].
17
And the LORD[H3068]said[H559] unto Moses[H4872], I will do[H6213] this thing[H1697] also that thou hast spoken[H1696]: for thou hast found[H4672]grace[H2580] in my sight[H5869], and I know[H3045] thee by name[H8034].
18
And he said[H559], I beseech thee[H4994], shew[H7200] me thy glory[H3519].
19
And he said[H559], I will make all my goodness[H2898]pass[H5674]before[H6440] thee, and I will proclaim[H7121] the name[H8034] of the LORD[H3068]before[H6440] thee; and will be gracious[H2603] to whom I will be gracious[H2603], and will shew mercy[H7355] on whom I will shew mercy[H7355].
20
And he said[H559], Thou canst[H3201] not see[H7200] my face[H6440]: for there shall no man[H120]see[H7200] me, and live[H2425].
21
And the LORD[H3068]said[H559], Behold, there is a place[H4725] by me, and thou shalt stand[H5324] upon a rock[H6697]:
22
And it shall come to pass, while[H5704] my glory[H3519] passeth by[H5674], that I will put[H7760] thee in a clift[H5366] of the rock[H6697], and will cover[H5526] thee with my hand[H3709]while[H5704] I pass by[H5674]:
23
And I will take[H5493] away mine hand[H3709], and thou shalt see[H7200] my back parts[H268]: but my face[H6440] shall not be seen[H7200].
