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? 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.
