Moses prevails with God, and desires to see his glory If Your Presence does not go with us, Moses is speaking to God after the incident of the golden calf, where the Israelites sinned by worshiping an idol. God's presence, often represented by the cloud and fire, was a sign of His guidance and favor. The Hebrew term for "presence" here is "panim," which can also mean "face," indicating a personal and intimate relationship. This reflects the deep dependence Moses and the Israelites had on God's guidance. The presence of God was crucial for their identity as His chosen people, distinguishing them from other nations.

Moses replied, do not lead us up from here. Persons / Places / Events 1. MosesThe leader of the Israelites, chosen by God to lead His people out of Egypt.

Lists and Questions Top 10 Lessons from Exodus 33Are you with me? Are you with me? In Exodus 33:14–15, why does Moses fear going without God’s presence if God is said to be omnipresent? Exodus 19:12-13: Why would a supposedly loving God require the death penalty for anyone (or even an animal) that merely touches the mountain?Verses 15, 16. - And he said.
