    12Moses said to the LORD, 'See, You have been telling me, ‘Lead 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 found favor in My eyes.’

    13Now, if I have indeed found favor in Your eyes, please show me Your ways, so that I may know You and continue to find favor in Your eyes. Remember, this nation is Your people.

    14The LORD replied, 'My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.'

    15Then Moses said to Him, 'If Your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here.'

    16For how will anyone know that You are pleased with me and with Your people unless You go with us? What else will distinguish me and Your people from all the other peoples on the face of the earth?

    17The LORD said to Moses, 'I will do the very thing you have asked, for you have found favor in My eyes, and I know you by name.'

    18Then Moses said, 'Please show me Your glory.'

    19And the LORD said, 'I will cause all My goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim My name, the LORD, in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will show compassion on whom I will show compassion.'

    20But He added, 'You cannot see My face, for no one can see Me and live.'

    21Then the LORD said, 'There is a place near Me where you may stand on a rock.'

    22When My glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with My hand until I have passed by.
