Exodus 33:4-18 The Message (MSG)

4. When the people heard this harsh verdict, they were plunged into gloom and wore long faces. No one put on jewelry.

11. And God spoke with Moses face-to-face, as neighbors speak to one another. When he would return to the camp, his attendant, the young man Joshua, stayed—he didn’t leave the Tent.

14. God said, “My presence will go with you. I’ll see the journey to the end.”

17. God said to Moses: “All right. Just as you say; this also I will do, for I know you well and you are special to me. I know you by name.”

18. Moses said, “Please. Let me see your Glory.”
