King James Bible
"And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:"
God designates a specific location near Himself where Moses will witness His glory. This follows Moses' request to see God's glory, and the phrase emphasizes both divine initiative and proximity—God provides the very place where this encounter will occur. The rock serves as Moses' foundation during this theophany, providing stability and elevation for the divine encounter. In the wilderness setting of Sinai, this rock becomes sacred space, and its solidity contrasts with human frailty before God's overwhelming presence.
