Exo 33:12-16 {p} Mediation of Moses + My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest
Hebrew root word parables.
And He said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Exo 33:14
PRESENCE. Strong’s H6440 פנים paniym: an abstract concept meaning, “face.” The story: To open the seed, that is, the root going down; so to be bowed down in worship. Thus a man turning his face to YHVH is to seek Him or to worship Him; and YHVH turning His face to man is to cause His presence to descend to him and receive his worship.
TO GO WITH. Strong’s H3212 ילך yalak: a primitive root meaning, “to go, to go out, to get out.” The story: Grasping the staff in the palm, as an aid in walking.
REST. Strong’s H5117 נוח nuach: a primitive root meaning, “to rest.” The story:
Continuing securely outside, that is, beyond the enclosure fence where the shepherd leads his flock to a place of green pasture and still water, making them lie down in safety.

His presence among us distinguishes us from all other peoples on the face of the earth. It is Bible normal for us to stand out and not blend in to the world. And what happens when His presence is found with us?
How God anointed Yeshua of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with Him. Act 10:38
Let us seek His face, the place of His presence. We don’t have to work up the gifts of the Spirit or His power. As we dwell in His presence, He goes with us, with His gifts and power, to do good, to heal, and to set free.
