You cannot see my face, for no man can see me and live. Jehovah said further: Here is a place near me. Station yourself on the rock. When my glory is passing by, I will place you in a crevice of the rock, and I will shield you with my hand until I have passed by. After that I will take my hand away, and you will see my back. But my face may not be seen.
Exodus 33ː20-23
