A  (20)  And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.

B  (21a)  And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me,

C  (21b-22a)

(i)  and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
(ii)  And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by,

C’  (22b)

(i’)  that I will put thee in a clift of the rock,
(ii’)  and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:

B’  (23a)  And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts:

A’  (23b)  but my face shall not be seen.
