EXODUS 33:13 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people.”
If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people. The request — teach me your ways so I may know you — is one of the most beautiful prayers in the Torah. Moses does not ask for success or power or protection. He asks for knowledge of God: teach me your ways so I may know you. Jeremiah 31:33–34 promises a new covenant in which everyone will know God — the knowledge Moses requests in this prayer becomes the promise of the new covenant for all God's people. The relational knowledge of God that Moses seeks is the heart of what the covenant exists to create.
