Exodus 33:2-13

2I will sendH7971 1an angelH4397 beforeH6440 you and 2I will driveH1644 out the CanaaniteH3669, the AmoriteH567, the HittiteH2850, the PerizziteH6522, the HiviteH2340 and the JebusiteH2983. 3Go up to a landH776 3flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706; for I will not goH5927 up in your midstH7130, becauseH3588 you are 45an obstinateH7186H6203 peopleH5971, and 6I mightH6435 destroyH3615 you on the wayH1870.”

4When the peopleH5971 heardH8085 thisH2088 7sadH7451 wordH1697, 8they wentH56 into mourningH56, and noneH3808H376 of them putH7896 on his ornamentsH5716. 5For the LordH3068 had saidH559 to MosesH4872, “SayH559 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, ‘You are 910an obstinateH7186H6203 peopleH5971; should I goH5927 up in your midstH7130 for oneH259 momentH7281, I would destroyH3615 you. NowH6258 therefore, putH3381 offH3381 your ornamentsH5716 from you, that I may knowH3045 whatH4100 I shall doH6213 with you.’” 6So the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 strippedH5337 themselves of their ornamentsH5716, from MountH2022 HorebH2722 onward.

7Now MosesH4872 used to takeH3947 11the tentH168 and pitchH5186 it outsideH4480H2351 the campH4264, a goodH7368 distanceH7368 from the campH4264, and he calledH7121 it the tentH168 of meetingH4150. And 12everyoneH3605 who soughtH1245 the LordH3068 would goH3318 out to the tentH168 of meetingH4150 whichH834 was outsideH4480H2351 the campH4264. 8And it cameH1961 about, whenever MosesH4872 wentH3318 out to the tentH168, that allH3605 the peopleH5971 would ariseH6965 and standH5324, eachH376 at the entranceH6607 of his tentH168, and gazeH5027 afterH310 MosesH4872 untilH5704 he enteredH935 the tentH168. 9Whenever MosesH4872 enteredH935 the tentH168, 13the pillarH5982 of cloudH6051 would descendH3381 and standH5975 at the entranceH6607 of the tentH168; 14and 15the Lord would speakH1696 with MosesH4872. 10When allH3605 the peopleH5971 sawH7200 the pillarH5982 of cloudH6051 standingH5975 at the entranceH6607 of the tentH168, allH3605 the peopleH5971 would ariseH6965 and worshipH7812, eachH376 at the entranceH6607 of his tentH168. 11Thus 16the LordH3068 used to speakH1696 to MosesH4872 faceH6440 to faceH6440, justH3512 as a manH376 speaksH1696 to his friendH7453. When 17Moses returnedH7725 to the campH4264, 18his servantH8334 JoshuaH3091, the sonH1121 of NunH5126, a youngH5288 manH5288, would not departH4185 from the tentH168.

12Then MosesH4872 saidH559 to the LordH3068, “SeeH7200, You sayH559 to me, ‘19BringH5927 up thisH2088 peopleH5971!’ But You YourselfH859 have not let me knowH3045 20whomH834 You will sendH7971 with me. 21Moreover, You have saidH559, ‘I have knownH3045 you by nameH8034, and you have alsoH1571 foundH4672 favorH2580 in My sightH5869.’ 13NowH6258 therefore, I prayH4994 You, ifH518 I have foundH4672 favorH2580 in Your sightH5869, 22let me knowH3045 Your waysH1870 that I may knowH3045 You, soH4616 that I may findH4672 favorH2580 in Your sightH5869. 23ConsiderH7200 too, that thisH2088 nationH1471 is Your peopleH5971.”
