Bible Verses About The Glory of God: Moses

But Moshe said, "I beg you to show me your glory!"

He replied, "I will cause all my goodness to pass before you, and in your presence I will pronounce the name of ADONAI. Moreover, I show favor to whomever I will, and I display mercy to whomever I will.

But my face," he continued, "you cannot see, because a human being cannot look at me and remain alive.

Here," he said, "is a place near me; stand on the rock.

When my glory passes by, I will put you inside a crevice in the rock and cover you with my hand, until I have passed by.

Then I will remove my hand, and you will see my back, but my face is not to be seen."

ADONAI descended in the cloud, stood with him there and pronounced the name of ADONAI.

ADONAI passed before him and proclaimed: "YUD-HEH-VAV-HEH!!! Yud-Heh-Vav-Heh [ADONAI] is God, merciful and compassionate, slow to anger, rich in grace and truth;

showing grace to the thousandth generation, forgiving offenses, crimes and sins; yet not exonerating the guilty, but causing the negative effects of the parents' offenses to be experienced by their children and grandchildren, and even by the third and fourth generations."
