Parashas Ki Sisa · EXTRA (side-ring) · Passuk 33:15
Sefaria — Or HaChaim on Ki Sisa 33:15
English: ואם אין פניך הולכים , "Unless Your face will go, etc." Moshe was not satisfied with G'd's previous offer and said that unless G'd's face would go with them as of now the people would be lost, and there was no point in even beginning their ascent towards the Holy Land. His reasoning was that the only way he could be certain that he had indeed found favour in G'd's eyes was the method employed by G'd in accompanying the Jewish people. He referred to Israel's distinction of G'd relating to them as the Attribute represented by His Ineffable Name. Moshe was dissatisfied that only he and not the entire people should be the beneficiaries of the "great light" which G'd had promised to bestow on Mose
