Exodus 33:17 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 33:17

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.”

17 So the Lord said to Moses, ^a“I will also do this thing that you have spoken; for you have found grace in My sight, and I know you by name.”

18 And he said, “Please, show me ^aYour glory.”

19 Then He said, “I will make all My ^agoodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you. ^bI will be gracious to whom I will be ^cgracious, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.”

20 But He said, “You cannot see My face; for ^ano man shall see Me, and live.”

21 And the Lord said, “Here is a place by Me, and you shall stand on the rock.

22 So it shall be, while My glory passes by, that I will put you ^ain the cleft of the rock, and will ^bcover you with My hand while I pass by.

23 Then I will take away My hand, and you shall see My back; but My face shall ^anot be seen.”
