Exodo 33
Magandang Balita Biblia
Nagpatuloy ng Paglalakbay ang Israel
33 Sinabi(A) (B) ni Yahweh kay Moises, “Umalis na kayo rito at magtuloy sa lupaing aking ipinangako kina Abraham, Isaac at Jacob na ibibigay ko sa kanilang lahi. 2-3 Ang pupuntahan ninyo'y isang mayaman at masaganang lupain. Pauunahin ko sa inyo ang isang anghel upang palayasin ang mga Cananeo, Amoreo, Heteo, Perezeo, Hivita at Jebuseo. Hindi ako ang sasama sa inyo at baka malipol ko lamang kayo sa daan dahil sa katigasan ng inyong ulo.”
4 Nang malaman ito ng mga Israelita, labis silang nalungkot at isa ma'y walang nagsuot ng alahas. 5 Sapagkat sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises, “Sabihin mo sa mga Israelita na matitigas ang ulo nila. Baka kung ako ang sasama sa kanilang paglalakbay ay malipol ko lang sila. Ipaalis mo ang kanilang mga alahas, at pagkatapos ay magpapasya ako kung ano ang gagawin ko sa kanila.” 6 Kaya't mula sa Bundok ng Sinai,[a] hindi na sila nagsuot ng alahas.
Ang Toldang Tipanan
7 Nakaugalian na ni Moises na itayo ang tabernakulo sa isang lugar na malayu-layo sa kampo; tinawag iyong Toldang Tipanan ng Diyos at ng mga tao. Doon pumupunta ang sinumang nais sumangguni kay Yahweh. 8 Tuwing papasok doon si Moises, ang mga Israelita'y tumatayo sa pintuan ng kanilang tolda at tinitingnan siya hanggang sa siya'y makapasok. 9 Kapag nasa loob na si Moises, bumababa naman sa may pinto ng Toldang Tipanan ang haliging ulap at mula roo'y makikipag-usap sa kanya si Yahweh. 10 Kapag nakita ng mga Israelita na nasa pintuan ng Tolda ang haliging ulap, pumupunta naman sila sa pintuan ng kanilang tolda at doo'y yumuyuko at sumasamba. 11 Ang pakikipag-usap ni Yahweh kay Moises ay harap-harapan, tulad ng pakikipag-usap sa kaibigan. Pagkatapos, si Moises ay bumabalik na sa kampo ngunit naiiwan sa Tolda si Josue, ang lingkod niya.
Nangako si Yahweh na Sila'y Papatnubayan
12 Sinabi ni Moises kay Yahweh, “Iniutos ninyo sa aking pangunahan ko ang bayang ito papunta sa lupaing ipinangako ninyo. Ngunit hindi ninyo sinabi kung sino ang makakatulong ko. Sinabi pa ninyong nalulugod po kayo sa akin at kilalang-kilala ninyo ako. 13 Kung ito'y totoo, ipinapakiusap kong sabihin ninyo sa akin ang inyong mga balak gawin para malaman ko upang patuloy kayong malulugod sa akin. Alalahanin din ninyo na ang bayang Israel ay inyo.”
14 “Sasamahan ko kayo at bibigyan ko kayo ng kapayapaan,” sagot ni Yahweh.
15 Sinabi ni Moises, “Kung hindi ninyo kami sasamahan, huwag na po ninyo kaming paalisin dito. 16 Sapagkat kung hindi kayo sasama sa amin, paano malalaman ng lahat na kami po ay inyong kinalulugdan? Kung sasama kayo sa amin, maliwanag na kami'y naiiba sa lahat ng mga bansa.”
17 “Sige, gagawin ko ang hiling mo sapagkat ako'y nalulugod sa iyo at kilalang-kilala kita,” sabi ni Yahweh.
18 Kaya't hiniling ni Moises, “Yahweh, ipakita po ninyo sa akin ang inyong kaluwalhatian!”
19 “Makikita mong lahat ang aking kaluwalhatian at bibigkasin ko sa iyo ang aking pangalan: Yahweh. Mahahabag ako sa nais kong kahabagan at maaawa ako sa nais kong kaawaan, 20 ngunit hindi mo maaaring makita ang aking mukha sapagkat tiyak na mamamatay ang sinumang makakita niyon. 21 Dito sa tabi ko'y may matatayuan kang bato. 22 Pagdaan ng aking maningning na kaluwalhatian, ipapasok kita sa siwang ng batong ito at tatakpan kita ng aking kamay. 23 Pagkalampas ko'y aalisin ko na ang aking kamay at makikita mo ang likod ko, ngunit hindi ang aking mukha,” sagot ni Yahweh.

New King James Version
The Command to Leave Sinai
33 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Depart and go up from here, you (A)and the people whom you have brought out of the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, (B)‘To your descendants I will give it.’ 2 (C)And I will send My Angel before you, (D)and I will drive out the Canaanite and the Amorite and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite. 3 Go up (E)to a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up in your midst, lest (F)I [a]consume you on the way, for you are a (G)stiff-necked[b] people.”
4 And when the people heard this bad news, (H)they mourned, (I)and no one put on his ornaments. 5 For the Lord had said to Moses, “Say to the children of Israel, ‘You are a stiff-necked people. I could come up into your midst in one moment and consume you. Now therefore, take off your [c]ornaments, that I may (J)know what to do to you.’ ” 6 So the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by Mount Horeb.
Moses Meets with the Lord
7 Moses took his tent and pitched it outside the camp, far from the camp, and (K)called it the tabernacle of meeting. And it came to pass that everyone who (L)sought the Lord went out to the tabernacle of meeting which was outside the camp. 8 So it was, whenever Moses went out to the tabernacle, that all the people rose, and each man stood (M)at his tent door and watched Moses until he had gone into the tabernacle. 9 And it came to pass, when Moses entered the tabernacle, that the pillar of cloud descended and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the Lord (N)talked with Moses. 10 All the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the tabernacle door, and all the people rose and (O)worshiped, each man in his tent door. 11 So (P)the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. And he would return to the camp, but (Q)his servant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, did not depart from the tabernacle.
The Promise of God’s Presence
12 Then Moses said to the Lord, “See, (R)You say to me, ‘Bring up this people.’ But You have not let me know whom You will send with me. Yet You have said, (S)‘I know you by name, and you have also found grace in My sight.’ 13 Now therefore, I pray, (T)if I have found grace in Your sight, (U)show me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is (V)Your people.”
14 And He said, (W)“My Presence will go with you, and I will give you (X)rest.”
15 Then he said to Him, (Y)“If Your Presence does not go with us, 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, (Z)except You go with us? So we (AA)shall 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, (AB)“I will also do this thing that you have spoken; for you have found grace in My sight, and I know you by name.”
18 And he said, “Please, show me (AC)Your glory.”
19 Then He said, “I will make all My (AD)goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you. (AE)I will be gracious to whom I will be (AF)gracious, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.” 20 But He said, “You cannot see My face; for (AG)no man shall see Me, and live.” 21 And the Lord said, “Here is a place by Me, and you shall stand on the rock. 22 So it shall be, while My glory passes by, that I will put you (AH)in the cleft of the rock, and will (AI)cover you with My hand while I pass by. 23 Then I will take away My hand, and you shall see My back; but My face shall (AJ)not be seen.”

Exodus 33
English Standard Version
The Command to Leave Sinai
33 The Lord said to Moses, “Depart; go up from here, you (A)and the people whom you have brought up out of the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, ‘To (B)your offspring I will give it.’ 2 I will send an (C)angel before you, (D)and I will drive out the Canaanites, the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. 3 (E)Go up to a land flowing with milk and honey; (F)but I will not go up among you, (G)lest I consume you on the way, for you are a (H)stiff-necked people.”
4 When the people heard this disastrous word, they (I)mourned, and (J)no one put on his ornaments. 5 For the Lord had said to Moses, “Say to the people of Israel, ‘You are a (K)stiff-necked people; if for a single moment I should go up among you, I would (L)consume you. So now (M)take off your ornaments, that I may know what to do with you.’” 6 Therefore the people of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments, from Mount Horeb onward.
The Tent of Meeting
7 Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it outside the camp, far off from the camp, and (N)he called it the tent of meeting. And everyone who (O)sought the Lord would go out to the tent of meeting, which was outside the camp. 8 Whenever Moses went out to the tent, all the people would rise up, and (P)each would stand at his tent door, and watch Moses until he had gone into the tent. 9 When Moses entered the tent, the (Q)pillar of cloud would descend and stand at the entrance of the tent, and the Lord[a] would speak with Moses. 10 And when all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance of the tent, all the people would rise up and worship, each at his tent door. 11 Thus (R)the Lord used to speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. When Moses turned again into the camp, his (S)assistant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, would not depart from the tent.
Moses' Intercession
12 Moses said to the Lord, “See, (T)you say to me, ‘Bring up this people,’ but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, (U)‘I know you by name, and you have also found favor in my sight.’ 13 Now therefore, if I have found favor in your sight, please (V)show me now your ways, that I may know you in order to find favor in your sight. Consider too that this nation is (W)your people.” 14 And he said, (X)“My presence will go with you, and (Y)I will give you rest.” 15 And he said to him, (Z)“If your presence will not go with me, do not bring us up from here. 16 For how shall it be known that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people? (AA)Is it not in your going with us, (AB)so that we are distinct, I and your people, from every other people on the face of the earth?”
17 And the Lord said to Moses, “This very thing that you have spoken I will do, (AC)for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name.” 18 Moses said, “Please (AD)show me your glory.” 19 And he said, (AE)“I will make all my goodness pass before you and will proclaim before you my name ‘The Lord.’ And (AF)I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy. 20 But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for (AG)man shall not see me and live.” 21 And the Lord said, “Behold, there is a place by me where you shall stand on the rock, 22 and while my glory passes by I will put you in a (AH)cleft of the rock, and I will (AI)cover you with my hand until I have passed by. 23 Then I will take away my hand, and you shall see my back, but my face shall (AJ)not be seen.”

33 Then 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(A) to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’(B) 2 I will send an angel(C) before you and drive out the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.(D) 3 Go up to the land flowing with milk and honey.(E) But I will not go with you, because you are a stiff-necked(F) people and I might destroy(G) you on the way.”
4 When the people heard these distressing words, they began to mourn(H) and no one put on any ornaments. 5 For the Lord had said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites, ‘You are a stiff-necked people.(I) If I were to go with you even for a moment, I might destroy(J) you. Now take off your ornaments and I will decide what to do with you.’” 6 So the Israelites stripped off their ornaments at Mount Horeb.(K)
The Tent of Meeting
7 Now Moses used to take a tent and pitch it outside the camp some distance away, calling it the “tent of meeting.”(L) Anyone inquiring(M) of the Lord would go to the tent of meeting outside the camp. 8 And whenever Moses went out to the tent, all the people rose and stood at the entrances to their tents,(N) watching Moses until he entered the tent. 9 As Moses went into the tent, the pillar of cloud(O) would come down and stay at the entrance, while the Lord spoke(P) with Moses. 10 Whenever 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.(Q) 11 The Lord would speak to Moses face to face,(R) as one speaks to a friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, but his young aide Joshua(S) son of Nun did not leave the tent.
Moses and the Glory of the Lord
12 Moses said to the Lord, “You have been telling me, ‘Lead these people,’(T) but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. You have said, ‘I know you by name(U) and you have found favor(V) with me.’ 13 If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways(W) so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people.”(X)
14 The Lord replied, “My Presence(Y) will go with you, and I will give you rest.”(Z)
15 Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence(AA) does not go with us, do not send us up from here. 16 How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us?(AB) What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?”(AC)
17 And the Lord said to Moses, “I will do the very thing you have asked,(AD) because I am pleased with you and I know you by name.”(AE)
18 Then Moses said, “Now show me your glory.”(AF)
19 And the Lord said, “I will cause all my goodness to pass(AG) in front of you, and I will proclaim my name,(AH) 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.(AI) 20 But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for no one may see(AJ) me and live.”
21 Then the Lord said, “There is a place near me where you may stand on a rock. 22 When my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock(AK) and cover you with my hand(AL) until I have passed by. 23 Then I will remove my hand and you will see my back; but my face must not be seen.”
