“And Moses said unto the LORD: ‘See, Thou say unto me: “Bring up this people”; and Thou have not let me know whom Thou will send with me. Yet Thou have said: “I know thee by name, and thou have also found grace in My sight.” Now therefore, I pray Thee, if I have found grace in Thy sight, show me now Thy ways, that I may know Thee, to the end that I may find grace in Thy sight; and consider that this nation is Thy people.’ And He said: ‘My Presence shall go with Thee, and I will give Thee rest.’ […]”“And the LORD said unto Moses: ‘Hew Thee two tables of stone, like unto the first; and I will write upon the tables the words that were on the first tables, which Thou did break.
