¹⁹ Behold, your servant has found favour in your sight, and you have shown me great kindness in saving my life. But I cannot escape to the hills, lest the disaster overtake me and I die.

Moses' Intercession

¹² Moses said to the Lord, “See, ^(A)you say to me, ‘Bring up this people’, but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, ^(B)‘I know you by name, and you have also found favour in my sight.’ ¹³ Now therefore, if I have found favour in your sight, please ^(C)show me now your ways, that I may know you in order to find favour in your sight. Consider too that this nation is ^(D)your people.”

¹⁶ For how shall it be known that I have found favour in your sight, I and your people? ^(A)Is it not in your going with us, ^(B)so that we are distinct, I and your people, from every other people on the face of the earth?”

¹⁷ And the Lord said to Moses, “This very thing that you have spoken I will do, ^(C)for you have found favour in my sight, and I know you by name.”
