Exodus 33:18-23

18Moses responded, “Then show me your glorious presence.”

19The Lord replied, “I will make all my goodness pass before you, and I will call out my name, Yahweh, before you. For I will show mercy to anyone I choose, and I will show compassion to anyone I choose.

20But you may not look directly at my face, for no one may see me and live.”

21The Lord continued, “Look, stand near me on this rock.

22As my glorious presence passes by, I will hide you in the crevice of the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by.

23Then I will remove my hand and let you see me from behind. But my face will not be seen.”
