Compare all
9 And it came to pass, when Moses entered the tabernacle, that the pillar of cloud descended and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the Lord atalked with Moses.  
10 All the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the tabernacle door, and all the people rose and aworshiped, each man in his tent door.  
11 So athe Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. And he would return to the camp, but bhis servant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, did not depart from the tabernacle.  

The Promise of God’s Presence

12 Then Moses said to the Lord, “See, aYou say to me, ‘Bring up this people.’ But You have not let me know whom You will send with me. Yet You have said, b‘I know you by name, and you have also found grace in My sight.’  
13 Now therefore, I pray, aif I have found grace in Your sight, bshow me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is cYour people.”  
14 And He said, a“My Presence will go with you, and I will give you brest.”  
15 Then he said to Him, a“If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here.  
16 For how then will it be known that Your people and I have found grace in Your sight, aexcept You go with us? So we bshall be separate, Your people and I, from all the people who are upon the face of the earth.”

Exodus 33:11

And the Lord spake to Moses face to face as a man speaketh to his friend - Which intimates not only that God revealed himself to Moses with greater clearness than to any other of the prophets, but also with greater expressions of particular kindness than to any other. He spake not as a prince to a subject, but as a man to his friend, whom he loves, and with whom he takes sweet counsel. And he turned again into the camp - To tell the people what hopes he had of bringing this business to a good issue. But because he intended speedily to return to the tabernacle, he left Joshua there.
