Exodus 33:2-13

2And I will sendH7971 an angelH4397 before youH6440, and I will drive outH1644 the CanaanitesH3669, AmoritesH567, HittitesH2850, PerizzitesH6522, HivitesH2340, and JebusitesH2983. 3Go up toH413 a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706. ButH3588 I will notH3808 goH5927 with youH7130, becauseH3588 youH859 are a stiff-neckedH7186H6203 peopleH5971; otherwiseH6435, I might destroyH3615 you on the wayH1870.”

4When the peopleH5971 heardH8085 thisH2088 badH7451 newsH1697, they went into mourningH56, and noH3808 oneH376 put onH7896 any of his jewelryH5716H5921. 5For the LORDH3068 had saidH559 toH413 MosesH4872, “TellH559H413 the IsraelitesH1121H3478, ‘YouH859 are a stiff-neckedH7186H6203 peopleH5971. If I should goH5927 with youH7130 for a singleH259 momentH7281, I would destroy youH3615. NowH6258 take offH3381 your jewelryH5716H5921, and I will decideH3045 whatH4100 to doH6213 with you.’”

6So the IsraelitesH1121H3478 stripped themselvesH5337 of their jewelryH5716 from MountH2022 HorebH2722 onward.1

7Now MosesH4872 used to takeH3947 the tentH168 and pitchH5186 itH2351H4264 at a distanceH7368 outsideH4480 the campH4264. He calledH7121 it the TentH168 of MeetingH4150, andH1961 anyoneH3605 inquiring ofH1245 the LORDH3068 would goH3318 toH413 the TentH168 of MeetingH4150 outsideH2351 the campH4264. 8ThenH1961, whenever MosesH4872 went outH3318 toH413 the tentH168, allH3605 the peopleH5971H5324 would standH6965 at the entrancesH6607 to their own tentsH168 and watchH5027H310 MosesH4872 untilH5704 he enteredH935 the tentH168. 9AsH1961 MosesH4872 enteredH935 the tentH168, the pillarH5982 of cloudH6051 would come downH3381 and remainH5975 at the entranceH6607, and the LORD would speakH1696 withH5973 MosesH4872. 10When allH3605 the peopleH5971 sawH7200 the pillarH5982 of cloudH6051 standingH5975 at the entranceH6607 to the tentH168, theyH3605H5971 would stand upH6965 and worshipH7812, each oneH376 at the entranceH6607 to his own tentH168.

11Thus the LORDH3068 would speakH1696 toH413 MosesH4872 faceH6440 toH413 faceH6440, asH834 a manH376 speaksH1696 toH413 his friendH7453. Then Moses would returnH7725 toH413 the campH4264, but his youngH5288 assistantH8334 JoshuaH3091 sonH1121 of NunH5126 would notH3808 leaveH4185 the tentH8432H168.

12Then MosesH4872 saidH559 toH413 the LORDH3068, “LookH7200, YouH859 have been telling meH559H413, ‘LeadH5927 thisH2088 people upH5971,’ but YouH859 have notH3808 let me knowH3045 whomH834 You will sendH7971 with meH5973. Yet YouH859 have saidH559, ‘I knowH3045 you by nameH8034, and you haveH1571 foundH4672 favorH2580 in My sightH5869.’ 13NowH6258 ifH518 indeedH4994 I have foundH4672 favorH2580 in Your sightH5869, pleaseH4994 let me knowH3045 Your waysH1870, that I may know YouH3045H4616 and findH4672 favorH2580 in Your sightH5869. RememberH7200 thatH3588 thisH2088 nationH1471 is Your peopleH5971.”
