Exodus 33 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

The Journey Resumed

Exo 33:1

Exo 33:1Then the LORD spoke to Moses, “Depart, go up from here, you and the people whom you have brought up from the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, ‘To your [fn]descendants I will give it.’

Exo 33:2

Exo 33:2“I will send an angel before you and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite and the Jebusite.

Exo 33:3

Exo 33:3“Go up to a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up in your midst, because you are [fn]an obstinate people, and I might destroy you on the way.”

Exo 33:4

Exo 33:4When the people heard this [fn]sad word, they went into mourning, and none of them put on his ornaments.

Exo 33:5

Exo 33:5For the LORD had said to Moses, “Say to the sons of Israel, ‘You are [fn]an obstinate people; should I go up in your midst for one moment, I would destroy you. Now therefore, put off your ornaments from you, that I may know what I shall do with you.’”

Exo 33:6

Exo 33:6So the sons of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments, from Mount Horeb onward.

Exo 33:7

Exo 33:7Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it outside the camp, a good distance from the camp, and he called it the tent of meeting. And everyone who sought the LORD would go out to the tent of meeting which was outside the camp.

Exo 33:8

Exo 33:8And it came about, whenever Moses went out to the tent, that all the people would arise and stand, each at the entrance of his tent, and gaze after Moses until he entered the tent.

Exo 33:9

Exo 33:9Whenever Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud would descend and stand at the entrance of the tent; and [fn]the LORD would speak with Moses.

Exo 33:10

Exo 33:10When all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance of the tent, all the people would arise and worship, each at the entrance of his tent.

Exo 33:11

Exo 33:11Thus the LORD used to speak to Moses face to face, just as a man speaks to his friend. When [fn]Moses returned to the camp, his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, would not depart from the tent.

Moses Intercedes

Exo 33:12

Exo 33:12Then Moses said to the LORD, “See, You say to me, ‘Bring up this people!’ But You Yourself have not let me know whom You will send with me. Moreover, You have said, ‘I have known you by name, and you have also found favor in My sight.’

Exo 33:13

Exo 33:13“Now therefore, I pray You, if I have found favor in Your sight, let me know Your ways that I may know You, so that I may find favor in Your sight. Consider too, that this nation is Your people.”

Exo 33:14

Exo 33:14And He said, “My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest.”

Exo 33:15

Exo 33:15Then he said to Him, “If Your presence does not go with us, do not lead us up from here.

Exo 33:16

Exo 33:16“For how then can it be known that I have found favor in Your sight, I and Your people? Is it not by Your going with us, so that we, I and Your people, may be distinguished from all the other people who are upon the face of the [fn]earth?”

Exo 33:17

Exo 33:17The LORD said to Moses, “I will also do this thing of which you have spoken; for you have found favor in My sight and I have known you by name.”

Exo 33:18

Exo 33:18Then [fn]Moses said, “I pray You, show me Your glory!”

Exo 33:19

Exo 33:19And He said, “I Myself will make all My goodness pass before you, and will proclaim the name of the LORD before you; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show compassion on whom I will show compassion.”

Exo 33:20

Exo 33:20But He said, “You cannot see My face, for no man can see Me and live!”

Exo 33:21

Exo 33:21Then the LORD said, “Behold, there is a place [fn]by Me, and you shall stand there on the rock;

Exo 33:22

Exo 33:22and it will come about, while My glory is passing by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock and cover you with My hand until I have passed by.

Exo 33:23

Exo 33:23“Then I will take My hand away and you shall see My back, but My face shall not be seen.”
