My Presence Will Go With You

• The Lord replied, "My Presence will go with you,
  and I will give you rest." Then Moses said to
  him, "If your Presence does not go with us, do
  not send us up from here. How will anyone know
  that you are pleased with me and with your people
  unless you go with us? What else will distinguish
  me and your people from all the other people on
  the face of the earth?" And the Lord said to
  Moses, "I will do the very thing you have asked,
  because I am pleased with you and I know you by
  name." Then Moses said, "Now show me your glory."
  Exodus 3314-18
