< previous EXODUS - CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE next >
1 Jehovah spoke to Moses, “Depart, go up from
here, you and the people that you have brought up out of the land of Egypt, to
the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, ‘I will
give it to your offspring.’ 2 I will send an angel before you; and I will
drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the
Hivite, and the Jebusite: 3 to a land flowing with milk and honey: for I
will not go up among you, for you are a stiff-necked people, lest I consume you
on the way.”
4 When the people heard this evil news, they
mourned: and no one put on his jewelry.
5 Jehovah said to Moses, “Tell the children of
Israel, ‘You are a stiff-necked people. If I were to go up into the middle of
you for one moment, I would consume you. Therefore now take off your jewelry
from you, that I may know what to do to you.’”
6 The children of Israel stripped themselves of
their jewelry from Mount Horeb onward.
7 Now Moses used to take the tent and to pitch it
outside the camp, far away from the camp, and he called it “The Tent of
Meeting.” Everyone who sought Jehovah went out to the Tent of Meeting, which
was outside the camp. 8 When Moses went out to the Tent, then all the
people rose up, and stood, everyone at their tent door, and watched Moses,
until he had gone into the Tent. 9 When Moses entered into the Tent, the
pillar of cloud descended, stood at the door of the Tent, and spoke with Moses.
10 All the people saw the pillar of cloud stand at the door of the Tent,
and all the people rose up and worshiped, everyone at their tent door. 11 Jehovah
spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. He turned again
into the camp, but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, didn’t
depart from the Tent.
12 Moses said to Jehovah, “Behold, you tell me,
‘Bring up this people:’ and you haven’t let me know whom you will send with me.
Yet you have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found favor in my
sight.’ 13 Now therefore, if I have found favor in your sight, please show
me now your way, that I may know you, so that I may find favor in your sight:
and consider that this nation is your people.”
14 He said, “My presence will go with you, and I
will give you rest.”
15 He said to him, “If your presence doesn’t go
with me, don’t carry us up from here. 16 For how would people know that I
have found favor in your sight, I and your people? Isn’t it that you go with
us, so that we are separated, I and your people, from all the people who are on
the surface of the earth?”
17 Jehovah said to Moses, “I will do this thing
also that you have spoken; for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you
by name.”
18 He said, “Please show me your glory.”
19 He said, “I will make all my goodness pass
before you, and will proclaim Jehovah’s name before you. I will be gracious to
whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.” 20 He
said, “You cannot see my face, for man may not see me and live.” 21 Jehovah
also said, “Behold, there is a place by me, and you shall stand on the rock. 22 It
will happen, while my glory passes by, that I will put you in a cleft of the
rock, and will cover you with my hand until I have passed by; 23 then I
will take away my hand, and you will see my back; but my face shall not be seen.”
