Yet You have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found grace in My eyes.’ ¹³ Now then, I pray, if I have found grace in Your eyes, show me Your ways, so that I may know You, so that I might find favor in Your sight. Consider also that this nation is Your people.”

¹⁴ “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest,” He answered.

¹⁵ But then he said to Him, “If Your presence does not go with me, don’t let us go up from here! ¹⁶ For how would it be known that I or your people have found favor in Your sight? Isn’t it because You go with us, that distinguishes us from all the people on the face of the earth?”
