From Exodus ch.33:
18 And [Moses] said: "Show me, please, Thy glory." 19 And [the Lord] said: "I will make all My goodness pass in front of you, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy." 20 And [the Lord] said: "you cannot not see My face; for man shall not see Me and live." 21 And the LORD said: "Behold, there is a place with Me; and you will stand upon the rock. 22 And it shall come to pass, while My glory passes by, that I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and will cover you with My hand until I have passed by. 23 And I will take away My hand, and you will see My back; but My face shall not be seen."
"God's back" is understood as a lesser intensity of Divine revelation than "His face." His "hand" is also understood as not being completely literal.
