12 Moses said to the LORD, "It is true that you have told me to lead these people to that land, but you did not tell me whom you would send me. You have said that you know me well and are pleased with me. 12 Now if you are, tell me your plans, so that I may serve you and continue to please you. Remember also that you have shosen this nation to be your own."
14 The LORD said, "I will go with you, and I will give you victory."
15 Moses replied, "If you do not go with us, don't make us leave this place. 16 How will anyone know that you are pleased with your people and with me if you do not go with us? Your presece with us will didtinguish us from any other  people on earth."
17 The LORD said to Moses, "I will do just as you have asked, because I knowyou very well and I am pleased with you."
18 Then Moses REQUESTED, "Please, let  me see the dazzling light of your presence."
19 The LORD answered, "I will makse all my splendor pass before you in your presece I will pronounce my sacred name. I am the LORD, and I shaow compassion and pity on thise I choose. 20 I will not let you see my face, because no one can see me and stay alive, 21 but here is a place beside me where you can stand on a rock. 22 When the dazzling light of my presence passes by, I will put you in an opening in the rock and cover you with my hand untill I have passed by. 23 Then I will take my hand away, and you will see my back but not my face."
