⁴ ‘You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt,^(A) and how I carried you on eagles’ wings^(B) and brought you to myself.^{(C) 5} Now if you obey me fully^(D) and keep my covenant,^(E) then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession.^(F) Although the whole earth^(G) is mine, ⁶ you^[a] will be for me a kingdom of priests^(H) and a holy nation.’^(I) These are the words you are to speak to the Israelites.”

⁴⁵ Then I will dwell^(A) among the Israelites and be their God.^{(B) 46} They will know that I am the Lord their God, who brought them out of Egypt^(C) so that I might dwell among them. I am the Lord their God.^(D)

Moses and the Glory of the Lord

¹² Moses said to the Lord, “You have been telling me, ‘Lead these people,’^(A) but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. You have said, ‘I know you by name^(B) and you have found favor^(C) with me.’ ¹³ If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways^(D) so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people.”^(E)

¹⁴ The Lord replied, “My Presence^(F) will go with you, and I will give you rest.”^(G)

⁸ Moses bowed to the ground at once and worshiped. ⁹ “Lord,” he said, “if I have found favor^(A) in your eyes, then let the Lord go with us.^(B) Although this is a stiff-necked^(C) people, forgive our wickedness and our sin,^(D) and take us as your inheritance.”^(E)

¹⁰ Then the Lord said: “I am making a covenant^(F) with you. Before all your people I will do wonders^(G) never before done in any nation in all the world.^(H) The people you live among will see how awesome is the work that I, the Lord, will do for you.
