Exodus 33:18 Moses asks to see the kavod itself — the request that defines the word

Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and Yahweh’s glory filled the tabernacle. Moses wasn’t able to enter into the Tent of Meeting, because the cloud stayed on it, and Yahweh’s glory filled the tabernacle.

Exodus 40:34-35 Kavod as weight that settles and fills — glory too heavy to stand in

The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.

Psalm 19:1 Creation itself carries God's kavod

Yahweh’s glory came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east. The Spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and behold, Yahweh’s glory filled the house.
