The Promise of God’s Presence
12 Then Moses said to the Lord, "See, Ex. 3:10; 32:34You say to me, ‘Bring up this people.’ But You have not let me know whom You will send with me. Yet You have said, Ex. 33:17; John 10:14, 15; 2 Tim. 2:19‘I know you by name, and you have also found grace in My sight.’ 13 Now therefore, I pray, Ex. 34:9if I have found grace in Your sight, Ps. 25:4; 27:11; 86:11; 119:33show me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation isEx. 3:7, 10; 5:1; 32:12, 14; Deut. 9:26, 29Your people."
14 And He said, Ex. 3:12; Deut. 4:37; Is. 63:9"My Presence will go withyou, and I will give you Deut. 12:10; 25:19; Josh. 21:44; 22:4rest."
15 Then he said to Him, Ex. 33:3"If Your Presence does not go withus, do not bring us up from here. 16 For how then will it be known that Your people and I have found grace in Your sight, Num. 14:14except You go with us? So we Ex. 34:10; Deut. 4:7, 34shall be separate, Your people and I, from all the people who are upon the face of the earth."
17 So the Lord said to Moses, (James 5:16)"I will also do this thing that you have spoken; for you have found grace in My sight, and I know you by name."
