2-3. It is a land rich with milk and honey, and I will send an angel to force out those people who live there—the Canaanites, the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. I would go with my people, but they are so rebellious that I would destroy them before they get there.
18. Then Moses said, “I pray that you will let me see you in all your glory.”
19. 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,
20. but I won't let you see my face, because anyone who sees my face will die.
21. There is a rock not far from me. Stand beside it,
22. and before I pass by in all 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.
