1 Και ειπε Κυριος προς τον Μωυσην, Υπαγε, αναβηθι εντευθεν συ και ο λαος τον οποιον εξηγαγες εκ γης Αιγυπτου, εις την γην την οποιαν ωμοσα προς τον Αβρααμ, προς τον Ισαακ και προς τον Ιακωβ, λεγων, Εις το σπερμα σου θελω δωσει αυτην·

2 και θελω αποστειλει αγγελον εμπροσθεν σου και θελω εκδιωξει τον Χαναναιον, τον Αμορραιον και τον Χετταιον και τον Φερεζαιον τον Ευαιον και τον Ιεβουσαιον·

3 εις γην ρεουσαν γαλα και μελι διοτι εγω δεν θελω αναβη εν τω μεσω σου, επειδη εισαι λαος σκληροτραχηλος, δια να μη σε εξολοθρευσω καθ' οδον.

4 Και οτε ηκουσεν ο λαος τον κακον τουτον λογον, κατεπενθησαν και ουδεις εβαλε τον στολισμον αυτου εφ' εαυτον.

5 Διοτι ο Κυριος ειπε προς τον Μωυσην, Ειπε προς τους υιους Ισραηλ, Σεις εισθε λαος σκληροτραχηλος· μιαν στιγμην εαν αναβω εις το μεσον σου, θελω σε εξολοθρευσει· οθεν τωρα εκδυθητι τους στολισμους σου απο σου, δια να γνωρισω τι θελω καμει εις σε.

6 Και εξεδυθησαν οι υιοι του Ισραηλ τους στολισμους αυτων πλησιον του ορους Χωρηβ.

7 Και λαβων ο Μωυσης την σκηνην, εστησεν αυτην εξω του στρατοπεδου, μακραν του στρατοπεδου, και ωνομασεν αυτην Σκηνην του μαρτυριου· και πας ο ζητων τον Κυριον εξηρχετο προς την σκηνην του μαρτυριου την εξω του στρατοπεδου.

8 Και οτε εξηρχετο ο Μωυσης προς την σκηνην, πας ο λαος εσηκονετο και ιστατο εκαστος παρα την θυραν της σκηνης αυτου και εβλεπον κατοπιν του Μωυσεως, εωσου εισηρχετο εις την σκηνην.

9 Και καθως εισηρχετο ο Μωυσης εις την σκηνην, κατεβαινεν ο στυλος της νεφελης και ιστατο επι των θυρων της σκηνης· και ελαλει ο Κυριος μετα του Μωυσεως.

10 Και εβλεπε πας ο λαος τον στυλον της νεφελης ισταμενον επι των θυρων της σκηνης· και πας ο λαος ανισταμενος προσεκυνει, εκαστος απο της θυρας της σκηνης αυτου.

11 Και ελαλει ο Κυριος προς τον Μωυσην προσωπον προς προσωπον, καθως λαλει ανθρωπος προς τον φιλον αυτου. Και επεστρεφεν εις το στρατοπεδον· ο δε θεραπων αυτου νεος, Ιησους ο υιος του Ναυη, δεν ανεχωρει απο της σκηνης.

12 Και ειπεν ο Μωυσης προς τον Κυριον, Ιδε, συ μοι λεγεις, Αναγαγε τον λαον τουτον· και συ δεν με εφανερωσας ποιον θελεις αποστειλει μετ' εμου· και συ ειπας, σε γνωριζω κατ' ονομα, και μαλιστα ευρηκας χαριν εμπροσθεν μου·

13 τωρα λοιπον, εαν ευρηκα χαριν εμπροσθεν σου, δειξον μοι, δεομαι, την οδον σου, δια να σε γνωρισω, δια να ευρω χαριν ενωπιον σου· και ιδε οτι τουτο το εθνος ειναι ο λαος σου.

14 και ειπεν, Η παρουσια μου θελει ελθει μετα σου και θελω σοι δωσει αναπαυσιν.

15 Ο δε ειπε προς αυτον, Εαν η παρουσια σου δεν ελθη μετ' εμου, μη αναγαγης ημας εντευθεν·

16 διοτι πως θελει γνωρισθη τωρα, οτι ευρηκα χαριν ενωπιον σου εγω και ο λαος σου; ουχι δια της ελευσεως σου μεθ' ημων; ουτω θελομεν διακριθη, εγω και ο λαος σου, απο παντος λαου, του επι προσωπου της γης.

17 Και ειπε Κυριος προς τον Μωυσην, Και τουτο το πραγμα το οποιον ειπας, θελω καμει διοτι ευρηκας χαριν ενωπιον μου και σε γνωριζω κατ' ονομα.

18 Και ειπε, Δειξον μοι, δεομαι, την δοξαν σου.

19 Ο δε ειπεν, Εγω θελω καμει να περαση εμπροσθεν σου ολη η αγαθοτης μου και θελω κηρυξει το ονομα του Κυριου εμπροσθεν σου και θελω ελεησει οντινα ελεω και θελω οικτειρησει οντινα οικτειρω.

20 Και ειπε, δεν δυνασαι να ιδης το προσωπον μου· διοτι ανθρωπος δεν θελει με ιδει και ζησει.

21 Και ειπεν ο Κυριος, Ιδου, τοπος πλησιον μου, και θελεις σταθη επι της πετρας·

22 και οταν η δοξα μου διαβαινη, θελω σε βαλει εις το σχισμα της πετρας και θελω σε σκεπασει με την χειρα μου, εωσου παρελθω·

23 και θελω σηκωσει την χειρα μου και θελεις ιδει τα οπισω μου· το δε προσωπον μου δεν θελεις ιδει.

370. (b) It is impossible for us to have a partnership with God the Father. What is possible is a partnership with the Lord, and through the Lord, with God the Father. Scripture teaches this and reason sees it. Scripture teaches that God the Father never has been seen or heard, and never could be. As a result, nothing from him such as he is in his own essential underlying reality could have an effect on us. The Lord says,

No one has seen God except the One who is with the Father. He has seen the Father. (John 6:46)

No one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son is willing to reveal him. (Matthew 11:27)

You have never heard the voice of the Father or seen what he looks like. (John 5:37)

The reason for this is that God the Father is in the first principles and beginnings of all things. Therefore he transcends the entire reach of the human mind. He is in the first principles and beginnings of all things related to wisdom and all things related to love. No partnership is possible between those first principles and us. Therefore if he were to come near us or we were to go near him, we would be consumed and liquefied like a piece of wood at the focus of a huge burning mirror; or better yet like a carved statue thrown into the sun itself. This is why Moses, who longed to see God, was told that we cannot see God and live (Exodus 33:20).

[2] The passages that I just quoted make it clear that we form a partnership with God the Father through the Lord. It was not the Father, it was the only begotten Son who is close to the Father's heart and has seen the Father, who disclosed and revealed the things that are of God and from God. The following passages also show that we form a partnership with God the Father through the Lord: "On that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you are in me and I am in you" (John 14:20). "The glory that you gave me, I have given them so that they may be one as we are one - I in them and you in me" (John 17:22-23, 26). Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. " Then Philip wanted to see the Father, but the Lord replied, "Those who see me also see the Father, and those who know me also know the Father" (John 14:6-7, and following). Elsewhere we read, "Those who see me see the One who sent me" (John 12:45).

In addition, the Lord says that he is the door, and that those who enter through him are saved, but those who climb up some other way are thieves and robbers (John 10:1, 9). He also says, "Those who do not live in me will be thrown out and put in the fire like a withered branch" (John 15:6).

[3] The reason is that the Lord our Savior is Jehovah the Father himself in human form. Jehovah came down and became human so that he could come close to us and we could come close to him, and a partnership could be forged, through which we could have salvation and eternal life. When God became human and then a human became God, he became able to draw near us in this adapted form and, as a human God and a divine Human, forge a partnership with us.

There are three stages to this that follow in sequence: adjusting to one another, coming closer together, and then forging a partnership. The adjustment has to happen before the two parties can come closer together, and both the adjustment and the coming closer have to happen before a partnership can be forged. The adjustment on God's part was to become human. God is perpetually coming closer to the extent that we are coming closer to him. And as this takes place, a partnership is forged. For each and every set of things that become one and share their existence, these three stages happen in this sequence and proceed in this order.
