Moses said, “Please show me your glory.”
He said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you and
will proclaim Yahweh’s name before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be
gracious and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.” He said, “You
cannot see my face, for man may not see me and live.” Yahweh also said,
“Behold, there is a place by me, and you shall stand on the rock. 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; then I will take
away my hand, and
you will see my back; but my face shall not be seen.”
Exodus 33:18-23
