God's face

Exodus 33:20-23 (ESV)

^20  But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for man shall not see me and live.”

^21  And the LORD said, “Behold, there is a place by me where you shall stand on the rock,

^22  and while my glory passes by I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and I will cover you with my hand until I have passed by.

^23  Then I will take away my hand, and you shall see my back, but my face shall not be seen.”
