King James Version
Then
the LORD said to
Moses, “Leave
this
place
, you
and the people you
brought up out of the land of Egypt, and
go
to
the land that
I promised
to
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob when
I
said
, ‘I
will give it to
your
descendants.’
And
the LORD said unto
Moses, Depart
, and go
up
hence,
thou
and
the people which
thou
hast
brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto
the land which
I sware
unto
Abraham, to
Isaac, and to
Jacob, saying,
Unto
thy
seed
will I
give it :
And I will send an angel before you,
and I will drive out the Canaanites
, Amorites
, Hittites
, Perizzites
, Hivites
, and Jebusites.
And I will send an angel before thee;
and I will drive out the Canaanite
, the
Amorite
, and
the
Hittite
, and
the
Perizzite
, the
Hivite
, and the
Jebusite:
Go
up
to
a land flowing with milk and honey .
But
I will not go with
you,
because
you
are
a stiff-necked
people ;
otherwise,
I might
destroy
you
on
the way. ”
Unto
a land flowing with milk and honey :
for
I will not go up
in
the
midst
of
thee;
for
thou
art
a stiffnecked
people :
lest
I consume
thee
in
the way.
When the people heard these bad
tidings, they went
into
mourning,
and no one
put on any
of
his jewelry
.
And
when the people heard these evil
tidings, they mourned:
and no man
did
put on him
his ornaments
.
For the LORD had said to
Moses, “Tell
the Israelites
, ‘You
are a stiff-necked
people .
If
I should
go
with
you
for
a single
moment, I
would
destroy
you.
Now take
off your
jewelry
, and
I will
decide
what to do with
you
. ’”
For the LORD had said unto
Moses, Say
unto
the children
of
Israel
, Ye
are a stiffnecked
people :
I will
come
up
into
the
midst
of
thee
in
a moment, and
consume
thee:
therefore
now put
off thy
ornaments
from
thee
, that
I may
know
what to do unto
thee
.
So
the Israelites
stripped themselves of their jewelry
from
Mount Horeb onward
.
And
the children
of
Israel
stripped themselves of their ornaments
by
the
mount Horeb.
Now
Moses used
to
take
the tent
and pitch
it at
a
distance
outside
the camp .
He
called it the Tent
of Meeting,
and anyone
inquiring
of
the LORD would
go
to
the Tent
of Meeting
outside
the camp.
And
Moses took
the tabernacle,
and pitched
it without
the camp ,
afar
off
from
the
camp,
and
called it the Tabernacle
of the
congregation.
And it
came
to
pass,
that
every
one
which
sought
the LORD went
out
unto
the tabernacle
of the congregation,
which
was
without
the
camp.
Then
, whenever
Moses went out to
the tent
, all the people would
stand
at the
entrances
to
their
own
tents
and watch
Moses until he entered
the tent
.
And
it
came
to
pass
, when
Moses went out unto
the tabernacle
, that
all the people rose
up,
and
stood
every
man
at his
tent
door,
and looked
after
Moses ,
until he was
gone
into
the tabernacle
.
As Moses entered the tent
, the pillar of
cloud
would
come
down
and remain
at the entrance
, and the LORD would
speak
with Moses.
And
it
came
to
pass,
as Moses entered into
the tabernacle
, the cloudy
pillar descended,
and stood
at the door
of
the
tabernacle
, and the Lord talked
with Moses.
When
all the people saw the pillar of
cloud
standing
at the entrance
to
the tent,
they
would
stand
up and worship
, each
one
at
the
entrance
to
his own
tent.
And
all the people saw the cloudy
pillar stand
at the tabernacle
door:
and
all
the people
rose
up and worshipped
, every
man
in
his tent door
.
Thus
the LORD would
speak
to
Moses face to face, as a man speaks
to
his friend. Then
Moses
would
return
to
the camp ,
but his young
assistant
Joshua son of Nun would
not leave
the tent
.
And
the LORD spake
unto
Moses face to face, as a man speaketh
unto
his friend. And
he
turned
again
into
the camp :
but his servant
Joshua ,
the
son of Nun ,
a
young
man,
departed
not out
of
the tabernacle
.
Then
Moses said to
the LORD, “Look
, You
have
been
telling
me, ‘Lead
this people up,’
but
You
have
not let me know whom You
will
send with me. Yet You
have
said, ‘
I know you
by name, and you
have
found favor
in My sight. ’
And
Moses said unto
the LORD, See
, thou
sayest
unto
me, Bring
up
this people :
and
thou
hast
not let me know whom thou
wilt
send with me. Yet thou
hast
said, I know thee
by name, and thou
hast
also
found grace
in my sight.
Now if indeed
I have found favor
in Your
sight, please
let
me know
Your
ways
, that I may know You
and
find favor
in Your
sight .
Remember
that this nation is Your
people. ”
Now therefore,
I
pray
thee,
if I have found grace
in thy
sight, show
me now
thy
way
, that I may know thee,
that
I
may
find grace
in thy
sight :
and
consider
that this nation is thy
people.
And the
LORD
answered
, “
My Presence will
go with you
, and I will give you
rest. ”
And he
said
, My presence shall
go with thee
, and I will give thee
rest.
“
If Your
Presence does
not
go with us,”
Moses
replied
, “do
not
lead
us up from
here
.
And
he
said
unto
him,
If thy
presence go not
with me
, carry
us not
up hence
.
For how
then
can
it be known that Your
people
and
I have found favor
in Your
sight ,
unless
You
go
with us? How
else
will
we be distinguished
from all the other
people on
the face of the earth ?”
For wherein
shall
it be known here
that I and
thy
people
have found grace
in thy
sight ?
is
it
not
in
that
thou
goest
with us? so
shall
we be separated,
I
and
thy
people,
from all the people that
are
upon
the face of the earth .
So
the LORD said to
Moses, “
I will do this very
thing you
have
asked,
for you
have
found favor
in My sight, and I know you
by name. ”
And
the LORD said unto
Moses, I will do this thing also
that
thou
hast
spoken:
for thou
hast
found grace
in my sight, and I know thee
by name.
Then
Moses
said, “Please
show me Your
glory. ”
And
he
said, I
beseech
thee,
show me thy
glory.
“
I will cause
all My goodness to
pass before you,”
the
LORD
replied
, “
and I will proclaim My
name —
the LORD —in
your
presence.
I
will have
mercy
on
whom I have
mercy
, and I
will have
compassion
on whom I have
compassion
. ”
And
he
said,
I will make
all my goodness pass before thee
, and I will proclaim the
name of
the LORD before
thee;
and
will be
gracious
to
whom I will
be
gracious
, and will show
mercy
on whom I will
show
mercy
.
But
He added
, “You
cannot
see My face ,
for no one
can
see Me and live. ”
And
he said
, Thou
canst
not
see my face :
for there
shall
no man
see me ,
and live.
The LORD continued
, “
There is a place near
Me where
you
are
to
stand upon a rock ,
And
the LORD said
, Behold,
there is a place by
me ,
and
thou
shalt
stand upon a rock :
and when
My glory passes
by, I will put you
in a cleft of the rock and cover you
with My hand until
I have
passed
by .
And it
shall
come
to
pass,
while
my glory passeth
by, that
I will put thee
in a cleft of the rock ,
and will
cover thee
with my hand while
I pass
by :
Then
I will take My
hand
away, and you
will
see My back ;
but My face must
not be seen. ”
And
I will take away mine
hand
, and thou
shalt
see my back parts:
but my face shall
not be seen.
