Exodus 33:18-23

18Then Moses said, “Now 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 have compassion on whom I will have compassion.

20But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for no one may 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.

23Then I will remove my hand and you will see my back; but my face must not be seen.”
