(b) That I may either show mercy if you repent, or else punish your rebellion. 33:7 And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it the {c} Tabernacle of the congregation. And it came to pass, [that] every one which sought the LORD went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which [was] without the camp. (c) That is, the tabernacle of the congregation: so called because the people turned to it, when they needed to be instructed of the Lord’s will. 33:11 And the LORD spake unto Moses {d} face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle. (d) Most clearly and familiarly of all others, [Numbers 12:7-8](../../../kjv/numbers/12/7-8) De 34:10 33:12 And Moses said unto the LORD, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by {e} name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight. (e) I care for you and will preserve you in your calling. 33:14 And he said, My {f} presence shall go [with thee], and I will give thee rest. (f) Signifying that the Israelites would exceed all other people, through God’s favour; [Exodus 33:16](../../../kjv/exodus/33/16). 33:18 And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy {g} glory. (g) Your face, your substance, and your majesty. 33:19 And he said, I will make all my {h} goodness pass before thee, and I will {i} proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew {k} mercy on whom I will shew mercy. (h) My mercy and fatherly care. (i) See [Exodus 34:6-7](../../../kjv/exodus/34/6-7). (k) For finding nothing in man that deserves mercy, he will freely give his. 33:20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and {l} live. (l) For Moses did not see his face in full majesty, but as man’s weakness could bear. 33:21 And the LORD said, Behold, [there is] a place by {m} me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock: (m) In mount Horeb. 33:23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my {n} back parts: but my face shall not be seen. (n) As much of my glory as in this mortal life you are able to see. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com","name":"Real Bible Believers","description":"RBB","publisher":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/search?q={search_term_string}","query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/geneva-study-bible/exodus/33#primaryimage","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/images/missing.jpg","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/images/missing.jpg","width":640,"height":370,"caption":"Geneva Study Bible - Exodus 33"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/geneva-study-bible/exodus/33#webpage","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/geneva-study-bible/exodus/33","name":"Geneva Study Bible - Exodus 33","isPartOf":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/geneva-study-bible/exodus/33#primaryimage"},"datePublished":null,"dateModified":null,"author":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"description":"33:1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Depart, [and] {a} go up hence, thou and the people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land w","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/geneva-study-bible/exodus/33#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/geneva-study-bible/exodus/33"]}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/geneva-study-bible/exodus/33#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/","name":"Home"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries","name":"Commentaries"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/geneva-study-bible","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/geneva-study-bible","name":"Geneva Study Bible"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/geneva-study-bible/exodus","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/geneva-study-bible/exodus","name":"Exodus"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/geneva-study-bible/exodus/33","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/geneva-study-bible/exodus/33","name":"33"}}]},{"@type":["Person","Organization"],"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#personlogo","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/android-chrome-512x512.png","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/android-chrome-512x512.png","width":512,"height":512},"logo":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#personlogo"},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/RBiblebeliever","https://www.facebook.com/RBibleBelievers"]}]} ```
