In this video listen to Exodus 33 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer.
In Exodus 33 God tells them to go to Canaan, but he isn’t coming with them. The broke their side of the covenant made just earlier, and now God is released from His promise to them. LIke an unfaithful partner, the other now has grounds for divorce.
Moses goes to sort the matter out with God in the tent of meeting. It turns out there are two tents of meeting, which is explained in this video. Moses convinces God to remain faithful to his promise even though the Israelites are hopeless.
He admits they won’t make it without Him, which is true for all people at all times. Thus God demonstrates his long faithful patience which has always been His way.
Moses then proceeds to ask if he can see God’s glory, which is a prayer every believer should pray.
But God advises he cannot see His face and live. Earlier in verse 11 it said that Moses talked to God face-to-face. Is there a contradiction here?
