Exodus 33:22

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.”

What Does Exodus 33:22 Mean?

Exodus 33:22-23

Moses asked to see Him in His glory, and in His glory God still had shape and form. He still was solid; He held His hand over Moses' eyes so the man could not see through it, and he must have felt the pressure of the hand on him. If Moses saw God's back side, God must also have a front side.
