Exodus

Exodus 33:15–16

¹⁵“If Your Presence does not go with us,” Moses replied, “do not lead us up from here. ¹⁶For how then can it be known that Your people and I have found favor in Your sight, unless You go with us? How else will we be distinguished from all the other people on the face of the earth?”
