In the context of <a href="/exodus/33.htm">Exodus 33</a>, Moses is interceding for the Israelites after the incident of the golden calf. God’s response here is part of a larger dialogue where Moses seeks assurance of God’s presence with His people. The use of "He added" suggests that God is providing further clarification or instruction beyond what was previously discussed.<p><b>“You cannot see My face,</b><br>In biblical terms, the "face" of God often symbolizes His presence and glory. The request to see God's face is a desire for an intimate and direct encounter with His divine nature. In the ancient Near Eastern context, seeing the face of a king or deity was considered a privilege and a sign of favor. However, in the case of the God of Israel, His holiness and glory are so overwhelming that they cannot be fully comprehended or withstood by mortal beings.<p><b>for no one can see Me and live.”</b><br>This statement underscores the transcendence and holiness of God. The idea that no one can see God and live is rooted in the understanding of God's absolute purity and the sinful nature of humanity. Theologically, it highlights the separation between God and man due to sin. This concept is echoed in other scriptures, such as <a href="/john/1-18.htm">John 1:18</a>, which states that no one has seen God, but Jesus, the Son, has made Him known. The necessity of a mediator between God and man is a recurring theme in the Bible, ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who provides a way for humanity to approach God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites, chosen by God to lead His people out of Egypt.
