Context of Exodus 33:14
12Moses said to the Lord, “You’ve been telling me to lead these people, but you haven’t let me know whom you’re sending with me. You’ve also said, ‘I know you by name, and I’m pleased with you.’ 13If you really are pleased with me, show me your ways so that I can know you and so that you will continue to be pleased with me. Remember: This nation is your people.” The Lord answered, “My presence will go ⌞with you,⌟ and I will give you peace.” 15Then Moses said to him, “If your presence is not going ⌞with us⌟, don’t make us leave this place. 16How will anyone ever know you’re pleased with your people and me unless you go with us? Then we will be different from all other people on the face of the earth.”
