16. For how will we be able to know, I and your people, that we have found grace in your sight, unless you walk with us, so that we may be glorified out of all the people who live upon the earth?"
17. Then the Lord said to Moses: "This word also, which you have spoken, I will do. For you have found grace before me, and I have known you by name."
18. And he said, "Show me your glory."
19. He responded: "I will show you all that is good, and I will call out with the name of the Lord before you. And I will take pity on whomever I will, and I will be lenient to whomever it will please me."
20. And again he said: "You are not able to see my face. For man shall not see me and live."
21. And again, he said: "Behold, there is a place with me, and you shall stand upon the rock.
22. And when my glory will cross over, I will set you in a cleft of the rock, and I will protect you with my right hand, until I pass by.
23. And I will take away my hand, and you shall see my back. But my face you are not able to see."
