The verses around it, from Exodus 33.

17 So the LORD said to Moses, “I will do this very thing you have asked, for you have found favor in My sight, and I know you by name.”

18 Then Moses said, “Please show me Your glory.”

19 “I will cause all My goodness to pass before you,” the LORD replied, “and I will proclaim My name—the LORD—in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”

20 But He added, “You cannot see My face, for no one can see Me and live.”

21 The LORD continued, “There is a place near Me where you are to stand upon a rock,

22 and when My glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft of the rock and cover you with My hand until I have passed by.

23 Then I will take My hand away, and you will see My back; but My face must not be seen.”
