21And the LORD said, “Look, there is a place by me, and you shall stand on the rock.”

22And when my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and I will cover you with my hand until I have passed by.

23Then I will remove my hand, and you will see my back, but my face shall not be seen.
