Exodus 33:18

Verse 18 of 23. The 33rd of 40 chapters in Exodus, in The Law.

14And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.

17And the Lord said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.

18And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.

20And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.

21And the Lord said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:

22And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:

Matthew Henry on Exodus 33:18

The humble request Moses makes: I beseech thee, show me thy glory, v. 18. Moses had lately been in the mount with God, had continued there a great while, and had enjoyed as intimate a communion with God as ever any man had on this side heaven; and yet he is still desiring a further acquaintance.
