1 Then|strong="H1696" the|strong="H0559" LORD|strong="H3068" said|strong="H0559" to|strong="H0413" Moses|strong="H4872", “You|strong="H0859" and|strong="H3068" the|strong="H0559" people|strong="H5971" you|strong="H0859" brought|strong="H5927" out|strong="H0413" of|strong="H0776" Egypt|strong="H4714" must|strong="H0776" leave|strong="H5927" this|strong="H2088" place|strong="H5414". Go|strong="H5927" to|strong="H0413" the|strong="H0559" land|strong="H0776" that|strong="H0834" I|strong="H0834" promised|strong="H1696" to|strong="H0413" give|strong="H5414" to|strong="H0413" Abraham|strong="H0085", Isaac|strong="H3327", and|strong="H3068" Jacob|strong="H3290". I|strong="H0834" promised|strong="H1696" them|strong="H0413" that|strong="H0834" I|strong="H0834" would|strong="H3068" give|strong="H5414" that|strong="H0834" land|strong="H0776" to|strong="H0413" their|strong="H3068" descendants|strong="H2233".
2 So|strong="H7971" I|strong="H7971" will|strong="H4397" send|strong="H7971" an|strong="H6440" angel|strong="H4397" to|strong="H7971" go|strong="H7971" before|strong="H6440" you|strong="H6440", and|strong="H7971" I|strong="H7971" will|strong="H4397" defeat the|strong="H0853" Canaanites|strong="H3669", Amorites|strong="H0567", Hittites|strong="H2850", Perizzites|strong="H6522", Hivites|strong="H2340", and|strong="H7971" Jebusites|strong="H2983". I|strong="H7971" will|strong="H4397" force them|strong="H0853" to|strong="H7971" leave your|strong="H6440" land|strong="H6440".
3 So|strong="H6435" go|strong="H5927" to|strong="H0413" the|strong="H3588" land|strong="H0776" filled with|strong="H0413" many good things|strong="H3808", but|strong="H3588" I|strong="H3588" will|strong="H0776" not|strong="H3808" go|strong="H5927" with|strong="H0413" you|strong="H0859". You|strong="H0859" people|strong="H5971" are|strong="H0776" very stubborn|strong="H7186". If|strong="H3588" I|strong="H3588" go|strong="H5927" with|strong="H0413" you|strong="H0859", I|strong="H3588" might|strong="H6435" destroy|strong="H3615" you|strong="H0859" along|strong="H3588" the|strong="H3588" way|strong="H1870".”
4 The|strong="H0853" people|strong="H5971" heard|strong="H8085" this|strong="H2088" bad|strong="H7451" news and|strong="H0376" became|strong="H1697" very|strong="H2088" sad, so|strong="H3808" they|strong="H5921" stopped wearing jewelry|strong="H5716".
5 This|strong="H6258" was|strong="H3068" because|strong="H5921" the|strong="H0559" LORD|strong="H3068" said|strong="H0559" to|strong="H0413" Moses|strong="H4872", “Tell|strong="H0559" the|strong="H0559" Israelites|strong="H3478", ‘You|strong="H0859" are|strong="H3478" a|strong="H5921" stubborn|strong="H7186" people|strong="H5971". I|strong="H3045" might|strong="H3068" destroy|strong="H3615" you|strong="H0859" even|strong="H6213" if|strong="H1121" I|strong="H3045" travel with|strong="H0413" you|strong="H0859" only|strong="H0259" a|strong="H5921" short time|strong="H6258". So|strong="H6213" take|strong="H5927" off|strong="H5921" all|strong="H0259" your|strong="H3068" jewelry|strong="H5716" while|strong="H5921" I|strong="H3045" decide what|strong="H4100" to|strong="H0413" do|strong="H6213" with|strong="H0413" you|strong="H0859".’”
6 So|strong="H0853" the|strong="H0853" Israelites|strong="H3478" stopped wearing their|strong="H5337" jewelry|strong="H5716" at|strong="H3478" Mount|strong="H2022" Horeb|strong="H2722".
7 Moses|strong="H4872" used|strong="H1961" to|strong="H0413" take|strong="H3947" a|strong="H1961" tent|strong="H0168" a|strong="H1961" short way|strong="H3605" outside|strong="H2351" the|strong="H3605" camp|strong="H4264". He|strong="H0834" called|strong="H7121" it|strong="H7121" “the|strong="H3605" meeting|strong="H4150" tent|strong="H0168".” Anyone|strong="H3605" who|strong="H0834" wanted|strong="H1245" to|strong="H0413" ask something from|strong="H4480" the|strong="H3605" LORD|strong="H3068" would|strong="H3068" go|strong="H3318" to|strong="H0413" the|strong="H3605" meeting|strong="H4150" tent|strong="H0168" outside|strong="H2351" the|strong="H3605" camp|strong="H4264".
8 Any|strong="H3605" time|strong="H1961" Moses|strong="H4872" went|strong="H3318" out|strong="H3318" to|strong="H0413" the|strong="H3605" tent|strong="H0168", all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" people|strong="H5971" watched|strong="H0413" him|strong="H0413". They|strong="H0376" stood|strong="H5324" at|strong="H0413" the|strong="H3605" entrance|strong="H6607" of|strong="H0376" their|strong="H3605" tents|strong="H0168" and|strong="H0935" watched|strong="H0413" Moses|strong="H4872" until|strong="H5704" he|strong="H0310" entered|strong="H0935" the|strong="H3605" meeting tent|strong="H0168".
9 Whenever|strong="H1961" Moses|strong="H4872" went|strong="H0935" into|strong="H0935" the|strong="H0935" tent|strong="H0168", the|strong="H0935" tall cloud|strong="H6051" would|strong="H6051" come|strong="H0935" down|strong="H3381" and|strong="H0935" stay|strong="H5975" at|strong="H5975" the|strong="H0935" entrance|strong="H6607" to|strong="H0935" the|strong="H0935" tent|strong="H0168". And|strong="H0935" the|strong="H0935" Lord would|strong="H6051" speak|strong="H1696" with|strong="H5973" Moses|strong="H4872".
10 So|strong="H6965" when|strong="H7200" the|strong="H3605" people|strong="H5971" saw|strong="H7200" the|strong="H3605" cloud|strong="H6051" at|strong="H7200" the|strong="H3605" entrance|strong="H6607" of|strong="H0376" the|strong="H3605" tent|strong="H0168", they|strong="H0376" would|strong="H6051" go|strong="H6965" to|strong="H0376" the|strong="H3605" entrance|strong="H6607" of|strong="H0376" their|strong="H3605" own|strong="H0376" tents|strong="H0168" and|strong="H6965" bow|strong="H7812" down|strong="H7812" to|strong="H0376" worship|strong="H7812" God.
11 In|strong="H0413" this|strong="H0834" way|strong="H6440" the|strong="H6440" LORD|strong="H3068" spoke|strong="H1696" to|strong="H0413" Moses|strong="H4872" face|strong="H6440" to|strong="H0413" face|strong="H6440" like|strong="H0834" a|strong="H1696" man|strong="H0376" speaks|strong="H1696" with|strong="H0413" his|strong="H3068" friend|strong="H7453". Then|strong="H1696" Moses|strong="H4872" would|strong="H3068" go|strong="H7725" back|strong="H7725" to|strong="H0413" the|strong="H6440" camp|strong="H4264", but|strong="H3808" his|strong="H3068" helper, Joshua|strong="H3091" son|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Nun|strong="H5126", always stayed in|strong="H0413" the|strong="H6440" tent|strong="H0168".
12 Moses|strong="H4872" said|strong="H0559" to|strong="H0413" the|strong="H0853" LORD|strong="H3068", “You|strong="H0859" told|strong="H0559" me|strong="H0413" to|strong="H0413" lead|strong="H0413" these|strong="H2088" people|strong="H5971", but|strong="H3808" you|strong="H0859" did|strong="H0834" not|strong="H3808" say|strong="H0559" who|strong="H0834" you|strong="H0859" would|strong="H3068" send|strong="H7971" with|strong="H5973" me|strong="H0413". You|strong="H0859" said|strong="H0559" to|strong="H0413" me|strong="H0413", ‘I|strong="H0834" know|strong="H3045" you|strong="H0859" very|strong="H2088" well|strong="H1571", and|strong="H3068" I|strong="H0834" am|strong="H3068" pleased|strong="H5869" with|strong="H5973" you|strong="H0859".’
13 If|strong="H0518" I|strong="H3588" have|strong="H5869" really|strong="H2088" pleased|strong="H5869" you|strong="H3588", then|strong="H6258" teach|strong="H3045" me|strong="H4994" your|strong="H7200" ways|strong="H1870". I|strong="H3588" want to|strong="H4616" know|strong="H3045" you|strong="H3588". Then|strong="H6258" I|strong="H3588" can|strong="H0518" continue to|strong="H4616" please|strong="H4994" you|strong="H3588". Remember that|strong="H3588" these|strong="H2088" people|strong="H5971" are|strong="H5869" your|strong="H7200" nation|strong="H1471".”
14 The|strong="H0559" Lord answered|strong="H0559", “I|strong="H0559" myself will|strong="H6440" go with|strong="H6440" you|strong="H6440". I|strong="H0559" will|strong="H6440" lead you|strong="H6440".”
15 Then|strong="H1980" Moses|strong="H0559" said|strong="H0559" to|strong="H0413" him|strong="H0413", “If|strong="H0518" you|strong="H0518" don’t|strong="H0408" go|strong="H1980" with|strong="H1980" us|strong="H0413", then|strong="H1980" don’t|strong="H0408" make us|strong="H0413" leave|strong="H1980" this|strong="H2088" place|strong="H2088".
16 Also|strong="H3045", how|strong="H4100" will|strong="H0834" we|strong="H3588" know|strong="H3045" if|strong="H3588" you|strong="H0834" are|strong="H0834" pleased|strong="H5869" with|strong="H5973" me|strong="H6440" and|strong="H5869" these|strong="H3605" people|strong="H5971"? If|strong="H3588" you|strong="H0834" go with|strong="H5973" us|strong="H5921", we|strong="H3588" will|strong="H0834" know|strong="H3045" for|strong="H3588" sure|strong="H3045". If|strong="H3588" you|strong="H0834" don’t|strong="H3808" go with|strong="H5973" us|strong="H5921", these|strong="H3605" people|strong="H5971" and|strong="H5869" I|strong="H0589" will|strong="H0834" be|strong="H3808" no|strong="H3808" different from|strong="H5921" any|strong="H3605" other|strong="H3605" people|strong="H5971" on|strong="H5921" the|strong="H3605" earth|strong="H0127".”
17 Then|strong="H1696" the|strong="H0853" LORD|strong="H3068" said|strong="H0559" to|strong="H0413" Moses|strong="H4872", “I|strong="H0834" will|strong="H3068" do|strong="H6213" what|strong="H0834" you|strong="H0834" ask|strong="H0559". I|strong="H0834" will|strong="H3068" do|strong="H6213" this|strong="H2088" because|strong="H3588" I|strong="H0834" am|strong="H3068" pleased|strong="H5869" with|strong="H0413" you|strong="H0834" and|strong="H3068" because|strong="H3588" I|strong="H0834" know|strong="H3045" you|strong="H0834" very|strong="H2088" well|strong="H1571".”
18 Then|strong="H0853" Moses|strong="H0559" said|strong="H0559", “Now|strong="H4994", please|strong="H4994" show|strong="H7200" me|strong="H4994" your|strong="H7200" Glory|strong="H3519".”
19 Then|strong="H0853" the|strong="H3605" Lord|strong="H3068" answered|strong="H0559", “I|strong="H0589" will|strong="H3068" show|strong="H7355" my|strong="H3605" love|strong="H7355" and|strong="H3068" mercy|strong="H7355" to|strong="H0559" anyone|strong="H3605" I|strong="H0589" want to|strong="H0559". So|strong="H7121" I|strong="H0589" will|strong="H3068" cause|strong="H7121" my|strong="H3605" perfect goodness|strong="H2898" to|strong="H0559" pass|strong="H5674" by|strong="H5921" in|strong="H5921" front|strong="H6440" of|strong="H3068" you|strong="H0834", and|strong="H3068" I|strong="H0589" will|strong="H3068" speak|strong="H0559" my|strong="H3605" name|strong="H8034", YAHWEH|strong="H3068", so|strong="H7121" that|strong="H0834" you|strong="H0834" can|strong="H0834" hear it|strong="H5921".
20 But|strong="H3588" you|strong="H3588" cannot|strong="H3808" see|strong="H7200" my|strong="H7200" face|strong="H6440". No|strong="H3808" one|strong="H0120" can|strong="H3201" see|strong="H7200" me|strong="H6440" and|strong="H0120" continue to|strong="H0559" live.”
21 Then|strong="H2009" the|strong="H0559" LORD|strong="H3068" said|strong="H0559", “Here|strong="H2009" is|strong="H3068" a|strong="H5921" place|strong="H4725" for|strong="H5921" you|strong="H5921" to|strong="H0559" stand|strong="H5324" by|strong="H5921" me|strong="H5921" on|strong="H5921" this|strong="H3068" large rock|strong="H6697".
22 I|strong="H5704" will|strong="H1961" put|strong="H7760" you|strong="H5921" in|strong="H5921" a|strong="H1961" large crack in|strong="H5921" that|strong="H1961" rock|strong="H6697". Then|strong="H1961" I|strong="H5704" will|strong="H1961" cover you|strong="H5921" with|strong="H5921" my|strong="H7760" hand|strong="H3709", and|strong="H3709" my|strong="H7760" Glory|strong="H3519" will|strong="H1961" pass|strong="H5674" by|strong="H5921".
23 Then|strong="H0853" I|strong="H7200" will|strong="H3808" take|strong="H5493" away|strong="H5493" my|strong="H7200" hand|strong="H3709", and|strong="H6440" you|strong="H6440" will|strong="H3808" see|strong="H7200" my|strong="H7200" back|strong="H0268". But|strong="H3808" you|strong="H6440" will|strong="H3808" not|strong="H3808" see|strong="H7200" my|strong="H7200" face|strong="H6440".”
