Exodus - Chapter 33 | King James Version (KJV)

  • 1. And the LORD said unto Moses, Depart, {cf15I and} go up hence, thou and the people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it:
  • 2. And I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite:
  • 3. Unto a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of thee; for thou {cf15I art} a stiffnecked people: lest I consume thee in the way.
  • 4. And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments.
  • 5. For the LORD had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye {cf15I are} a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee.
  • 6. And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb.
  • 7. And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And it came to pass, {cf15I that} every one which sought the LORD went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which {cf15I was} without the camp.
  • 8. And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, {cf15I that} all the people rose up, and stood every man {cf15I at} his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone into the tabernacle.
  • 9. And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood {cf15I at} the door of the tabernacle, and {cf15I the LORD} talked with Moses.
  • 10. And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand {cf15I at} the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man {cf15I in} his tent door.
  • 11. And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.
  • 12. And Moses said unto the LORD, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight.
  • 13. Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation {cf15I is} thy people.
  • 14. And he said, My presence shall go {cf15I with thee}, and I will give thee rest.
  • 15. And he said unto him, If thy presence go not {cf15I with me}, carry us not up hence.
  • 16. For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? {cf15I is it} not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that {cf15I are} upon the face of the earth.
  • 17. And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.
  • 18. And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.
  • 19. And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.
  • 20. And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
  • 21. And the LORD said, Behold, {cf15I there is} a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
  • 22. And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:
  • 23. And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.
