Exodus
Chapter 33
1
And Jehovah/God said unto Moses,
Depart,
and go up there, you and the people
who
you have brought up out of the land of Egypt,
unto
the land which I swore
unto
Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying,
Unto
your seed will I give it.
2 And I will send an Angel before you.
And
I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite,
and
the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
3
Unto a land flowing with milk and honey:
for
I will not go up in the middle of you.
For
you are a stiff-necked people
lest
I consume you in the way.
4
And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned
and
no man did put on him his ornaments.
5
For Jehovah/God had said unto Moses,
Say
unto the children of Israel, you are a stiff-necked people.
I will come up into the middle of you in a moment, and consume you.
Therefore
now put off your ornaments from you,
that
I may know what to do unto you all.
6
And the children of Israel stripped themselves
of
their ornaments by the Mount Horeb.
7
And Moses took the tabernacle,
and
pitched it without the camp,
afar
off from the camp,
and
called it the Tabernacle of the congregation.
And
it came to pass,
that
every one who sought Jehovah/God
went
out unto the tabernacle of the congregation,
which
was outside the camp.
8
And it came to pass,
when
Moses went out unto the tabernacle,
that
all the people rose up,
and
stood every man at his tent door,
and
looked after Moses,
until
he was gone into the tabernacle.
9~~And
it came to pass,
when
Moses entered the tabernacle,
the
pillar of the cloud descended,
and
stood at the entrance of the tabernacle,
that
Jehovah/God would speak with Moses.
{Note: The pillar of cloud was the evidence of the Shekinah Glory by day and then the pillar of fire indicated the same by night. The cloud is Jehovah/God Jesus Christ - the 'Elohiym/Godhead of Israel.}
10
And all the people saw the cloudy pillar
stand
at the tabernacle door
and
all the people rose up and worshipped,
every
man in his tent door.
11
And Jehovah/God spoke unto Moses face to face,
as
a man speaks unto his friend.
And
He turned again into the camp
but
His servant Joshua, the son of Nun,
a
young man,
departed
not out of the tabernacle.
12
And Moses said unto Jehovah/God, See, you say unto me,
Bring
up this people
and
you have not let me know whom you will send with me.
Yet
you have said,
I
know you by name,
and
you have also found grace in my sight.
13
Now therefore, I pray you,
if
I have found grace in your sight,
show
me now your way,
that
I may know you,
that
I may find grace in your sight
and
consider that this nation is your people.
14
And He said,
My
presence shall go with you,
and
I will give you rest.
15
And he {Moses} said unto Him,
If
Your presence go not with me,
carry
us not up there.
16
For wherein shall it be known here
that
I and your people have found grace in your sight?
Is it not in that you go with us?
So
shall we be separated,
I
and Your people,
from
all the people
who
are upon the face of the earth.
17
And Jehovah/God said unto Moses,
I
will do this thing also that you have spoken
for
you have found grace in my sight,
and
I know you by name.
18~~And
he {Moses} said, 'I beg You'/'Please sir',
cause
me to see Your glory.
{Note: 'Elohiym/Godhead will answer Moses' request in the only way a finite mind can see His glory - through bible doctrine.}
19a~~Therefore
He {God} replied,
"I
, even I alone,
will
cause to 'pass over'/'pass before'/'pass by'
'all
My good' {good of intrinsic value - the Divine Plan of God}
before
'your face'/you,
and
I will proclaim by the Name of Jehovah/God to your face.
{Note: To understand the Glory of God, you must understand the Plan of God, God will make known to Moses the Plan of 'Elohiym/Godhead face to face directly from God this is a Unique method of revelation to a Prophet. Paul was taught Uniquely in the Church Age. Both Moses and Paul were great unique men}
19b~~For/And,
I have been gracious {chanan - Divine Decrees}
on
whom I will be gracious {history}.
{Note: The action was decreed in eternity past and 'Elohiym/Godhead will always do as He decreed - God's Plan is decreed in the past and is certain now and forever.}
19c~~And,
I have had mercy
{racham - grace/compassion demonstrated/'in action'}
on
whom I will have mercy."
{Note: The last half of this verse was quoted by Paul in Romans 9:15.}
20~~But
He {God} said,
"You
can not see My face.
For man cannot see My face and live.
{Note: Via empiricism man does not have the capability to see infinite God. Only through understanding God's Mind can one come to understand anything about God. Our eyes are destroyed if we stare at the sun. In the same fashion, man would die IF he were permitted to look into the face of God.}
21
And Jehovah/God said,
Behold,
there is a place by Me,
and
you shall stand upon a rock.
22
And it shall come to pass,
while
My glory passes by,
that
I will put you in a cleft of the rock,
and
will cover you with my hand while I pass by.
23
And I will take away My hand,
and
you shall see My back parts
but
My face shall not be seen.
