EXODUS 33:22 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:”
When my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by. The cleft in the rock and the divine hand covering Moses together make partial vision survivable. The hand of God that stretched out against Egypt and divided the sea is here stretched over Moses to protect him from what that same hand's presence would otherwise destroy. Psalm 91:4 says he will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge — the covering hand of God protecting Moses in the cleft is the source of the refuge imagery that runs through the psalms.
