Exodus 33:15-17

Good News Translation

¹⁵ Moses replied, “If you do not go with us, don't make us leave this place. ¹⁶ How will anyone know that you are pleased with your people and with me if you do not go with us? Your presence with us will distinguish us from any other people on earth.”

¹⁷ The Lord said to Moses, “I will do just as you have asked, because I know you very well and I am pleased with you.”
