chapter 33
1
And
the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: God, get thee up from this place, thou and thy
people which thou has brought out of the land of Egypt, into the land
concerning which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying: To thy seed I
will give it.
2 And I will send an angel before thee, that I may cast
out the Chanaanite, and the Amorrhite, and the Hethite, and the Pherezite, and
the Hevite, and the Jebusite.
3 That thou mayst enter into the land that floweth with
milk and honey. For I will not go up with thee, because thou art a stiffnecked
people: lest I destroy thee in the way.
4 And the people hearing these very bad tidings,
mourned: and no man put on his ornaments according to custom.
5 And the Lord said to Moses: Say to the children of
Israel: Thou are a stiffnecked people; once I shall come up in the midst of
thee, and shall destroy thee. Now presently lay aside thy ornaments, that I may
know what to do with thee.
6 So the children of Israel laid aside their ornaments
by mount Horeb.
7 Moses also taking the tabernacle, pitched it without
the camp afar off, and called the name thereof, The tabernacle of the covenant.
And all the people that had any question, went forth to the tabernacle of the
covenant, without the camp.
8 And when Moses went forth to the tabernacle, all the
people rose up, and every one stood in the door of his pavilion, and they
beheld the back of Moses, till he went into the tabernacle.
9 And when he was gone into the tabernacle of the
covenant, the pillar of the cloud came down, and stood at the door, and he
spoke with Moses.
10 And all saw that the pillar of the cloud stood at
the door of the tabernacle. And they stood, and worshipped at the doors of
their tents.
11 And the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man
is wont to speak to his friend. And when he returned into the camp, his servant
Josue the son of Nun, a young man, departed not from the tabernacle.
12 And Moses said to the Lord; Thou commandest me to
lead forth this people: and thou dost not let me know whom thou wilt send with
me, especially whereas thou hast said: I know thee by name, and thou hast found
favour in my sight.
13 If therefore I have found favour in thy sight, show
me thy face, that I may know thee, and may find grace before thy eyes: look
upon thy people this nation.
14 And the Lord said: My face shall go before thee, and
I will give thee rest.
15 And Moses said: If thou thyself dost not go before,
bring us not out of this place.
16 For how shall we be able to know, I and thy people,
that we have found grace in thy sight, unless thou walk with us, that we may be
glorified by all people that dwell upon the earth?
17 And the Lord said to Moses: This word also, which
thou hast spoken, will I do: for thou hast found grace before me, and thee I
have known by name.
18 And he said: Shew me thy glory.
19 He answered: I will shew thee all good, and I will
proclaim in the name of the Lord before thee: and I will have mercy on whom I
will, and I will be merciful to whom it shall please me.
20 And again he said: Thou canst not see my face: for
man shall not see me and live.
21 And again he said: Behold there is a place with me,
and thou shalt stand upon the rock.
22 And when my glory shall pass, I will set thee in a
hole of the rock, and protect thee with my right hand, till I pass:
23 And I will take away my hand, and thou shalt see my
back parts: but my face thou canst not see.
