1Then the LORD said to Moses, "Leave this place, you and the people you brought up out of Egypt, and go up to the land I promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, saying, 'I will give it to your descendants.'

1The LORD told Moses, "Go up from here, you and the people whom you brought out of Egypt, to the land about which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob saying, 'I'll give it to your descendants.'

2I will send an angel before you and drive out the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.

2I'll send an angel in front of you and I'll drive out the Canaanites, the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

3Go up to the land flowing with milk and honey. But I will not go with you, because you are a stiff-necked people and I might destroy you on the way."

3Go up to a land flowing with milk and honey, but I won't go up among you, because you are an obstinate people, and otherwise I might consume you along the way."

4When the people heard these distressing words, they began to mourn and no one put on any ornaments.

4When the people heard this troubling word, they mourned, and no one put on his ornaments.

5For the LORD had said to Moses, "Tell the Israelites, 'You are a stiff-necked people. If I were to go with you even for a moment, I might destroy you. Now take off your ornaments and I will decide what to do with you.'"

5The LORD had told Moses, "Say to the Israelis, 'You are an obstinate people, and if for one moment I went up among you, I would put an end to you. Now take off your ornaments so I may decide what to do with you.'"

6So the Israelites stripped off their ornaments at Mount Horeb.

6So the Israelis did not wear their ornaments from Mount Horeb onward.

7Now Moses used to take a tent and pitch it outside the camp some distance away, calling it the "tent of meeting." Anyone inquiring of the LORD would go to the tent of meeting outside the camp.

7Moses used to take the tent and set it up outside the camp at a distance from the camp, and he called it the Tent of Meeting. When anyone sought the LORD, he would go out to the Tent of Meeting which was outside the camp.

8And whenever Moses went out to the tent, all the people rose and stood at the entrances to their tents, watching Moses until he entered the tent.

8When Moses would go out to the tent, all the people would get up, and each would stand in the doorway of his tent, watching Moses until he entered the tent.

9As Moses went into the tent, the pillar of cloud would come down and stay at the entrance, while the LORD spoke with Moses.

9When Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud would come down and stand at the doorway of the tent while God spoke with Moses.

10Whenever the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance to the tent, they all stood and worshiped, each at the entrance to their tent.

10When all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the doorway of the tent, all of them would get up and prostrate themselves in worship, each one at the doorway of his tent.

11The LORD would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, but his young aide Joshua son of Nun did not leave the tent.

11The LORD would speak to Moses face to face just as a man speaks with his friend. When Moses returned to the camp, Nun's son Joshua, his young servant, would not leave the tent.

12Moses said to the LORD, "You have been telling me, 'Lead these people,' but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. You have said, 'I know you by name and you have found favor with me.'

12Moses told the LORD, "Look, you have told me, 'Bring up this people,' but you haven't let me know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, 'I know you by name,' and also, 'You have found favor in my sight.'

13If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people."

13Now, if I've found favor in your sight, please show me your ways so I may know you in order to find favor in your sight. And remember, this nation is your people."

14The LORD replied, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest."

14He said, "My presence will go with you, and I'll give you rest."

15Then Moses said to him, "If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here.

15Then Moses told the LORD, "If your presence does not go with us, don't bring us up from here.

16How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?"

16Otherwise, how shall it be known that your people and I have received favor from you, unless you go with us and that we, your people and I, are distinguished from all the people on the surface of the earth?"

17And the LORD said to Moses, "I will do the very thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name."

17The LORD told Moses, "I'll do the very thing that you have said, because you have found favor in my sight and I know you by name."

18Then Moses said, "Now show me your glory."

18Then Moses said, "Please show me your glory."

19And the LORD said, "I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the LORD, in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.

19God said, "I'll cause all my goodness to pass before you, and I'll proclaim the name 'the LORD' before you. I'll be gracious to whom I'll be gracious, and I'll show compassion on whom I'll show compassion.

20But," he said, "you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live."

20But," he said, "You cannot see my face, because a man cannot see me and live."

21Then the LORD said, "There is a place near me where you may stand on a rock.

21The LORD said, "Look, there is a place near me where you can stand on the rock;

22When my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by.

22and as my glory passes by, I'll put you in a crevice in the rock, and cover you with my hand until I've passed by.

23Then I will remove my hand and you will see my back; but my face must not be seen."

23Then I'll remove my hand so you may see my back, but my face must not be seen."
