19. So He said, “I will cause all My goodness to pass before you, and call out the Name of Adonai before you. I will be gracious toward whom I will be gracious, and I will show mercy on whom I will be merciful.”
20. But He also said, “You cannot see My face, for no man can see Me and live.”
21. Then Adonai said, “See, a place near Me—you will stand on the rock.
22. While My glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and cover you with My hand, until I have passed by.
23. Then I will take away My hand, and you will see My back, but My face will not be seen.”
