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.
A (40-41) Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years. And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.
B (42) It is a night to be much observed unto the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the LORD to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations.
C (43) And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof:
D (44) But every man’s servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.
E (45) A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof.
F (46a) In one house shall it be eaten;
G (46b) thou shalt not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.
F’ (47) All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.
E’ (48a) And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the LORD,
D’ (48b) let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land:
C’ (48c-49) for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof. One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.
B’ (50) Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
A’ (51) And it came to pass the selfsame day, that the LORD did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
A (12) And Moses said unto the LORD, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people:and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name,
B and thou hast also found grace in my sight.
C (13) Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people.
E (14) And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.
E’ (15) And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.
D’ (16) For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us?
(i’) so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth.
B’ (17) And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight,
A’ and I know thee by name.
