Show Me Your Glory

Moses asked of Jehovah at Sinai, "Please show me Your glory" (Exodus 33:18; NKJV)

Glory has to do with preeminence.  Eminence has to do with respect and royalty.  Pre has to do with being higher than the eminent.  The Hebrew word has to do with “heavy, weighty” – (3519) kabowd – properly, weight (Strong’s).  Jehovah God's glory carries the full weight of His attributes: love, strength, etc. (see Psalm 29).

Exodus 34:5-8; ASV

5 And Jehovah descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of Jehovah.

6 And Jehovah passed by before him, and proclaimed, Jehovah, Jehovah, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and truth,

7 keeping lovingkindness for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin; and that will by no means clear (the guilty), visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation.

8 And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped.
