Exodus 33 - Contemporary English Version Interconfessional Edition(CEVDCI)

The Lord

Tells Israel To Leave Mount Sinai

1 they stopped wearing fancy jewelry.

The Lord

Is with His People

7Moses used to set up a tent far from camp. He called it the “meeting tent,” and whoever needed some message from the Lord would go there.

8Each time Moses went out to this tent, everyone would stand at the entrance to their own tents and watch him enter.

9-11Then they would bow down because a thick cloud would come down in front of the tent, and the Lord would speak to Moses face to face, just like a friend. Afterwards, Moses would return to camp, but his young assistant Joshua would stay at the tent.

The Lord

Promises To Be with His People

12Moses said to the Lord, “I know that you have told me to lead these people to the land you promised them. But you have not said who will go along to help me. You have said that you are my friend and that you are pleased with me.

13If this is true, let me know what your plans are, then I can obey and continue to please you. And don't forget that you have chosen this nation to be your own.”

14The Lord said, “I will go with you and give you peace.”

15Then Moses replied, “If you aren't going with us, please don't make us leave this place.

16But if you do go with us, everyone will know that you are pleased with your people and with me. That way, we will be different from the rest of the people on earth.”

17So the Lord told him, “I will do what you have asked, because I am your friend and I am pleased with you.”

18Then Moses said, “I pray that you will let me see you in all of your glory.”

19 Ro 9.15. The Lord answered:

All right. I am the Lord, and I show mercy and kindness to anyone I choose. I will let you see my glory and hear my holy name,

20but I won't let you see my face, because anyone who sees my face will die.

21There is a rock not far from me. Stand beside it,

22and before I pass by in all of my shining glory, I will put you in a large crack in the rock. I will cover your eyes with my hand until I have passed by.

23Then I will take my hand away, and you will see my back. You will not see my face.
