18 Moses said, “Please show me ^dyour glory.” 19 And he said, ^e“I will make all my goodness pass before you and will ^fproclaim before you my name ‘The Lord.’ And ^gI will ^hbe gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy. 20 But,” he said, ⁱ“you cannot see my face, for man shall not see me and live.” 21 And the Lord said, “Behold, there is a place by me where you shall stand on the rock, 22 and while my glory passes by I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and ^jI will cover you with my hand until I have passed by. 23 Then I will take away my hand, and you shall ^ksee my back, but my face shall not be seen.”

5 ^pThe Lord descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and ^qproclaimed the name of the Lord. 6 ^rThe Lord passed before him and proclaimed, ^s“The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, 7 ^tkeeping steadfast love for thousands,^{1 u}forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will ^vby no means clear the guilty, ^wvisiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children’s children, to the third and the fourth generation.” 8 And Moses quickly bowed his head toward the earth and worshiped.
