Exodus 33:13

Guidance and decisions Grace God's will and calling Prayer

¹¹ Thus the LORD would speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, but his young assistant Joshua son of Nun would not leave the tent.

¹² Then Moses said to the LORD, “Look, You have been telling me, ‘Lead this people up,’ but You have not let me know whom You will send with me. Yet You have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have found favor in My sight.’

Now if indeed I have found favor in Your sight, please let me know Your ways, that I may know You and find favor in Your sight. Remember that this nation is Your people.”

¹⁴ And the LORD answered, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”

¹⁵ “If Your Presence does not go with us,” Moses replied, “do not lead us up from here.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
