The term \"face,\" when applied to God, refers to the ten attributes that cover over and express God's essence in various ways. In order for God's Thirteen Attributes of Mercy to be aroused, as this verse describes, God's essence had to be \"uncovered\" and revealed to Moses. For this reason, God \"passed over\" His attributes and revealed His essence.",

This shows our deep humility before God. When we lower ourselves during this prayer, we are symbolizing the descent of the soul into this lower world. The purpose of this descent is to elevate the physical domain and make the world a holier place for God. This is comparable to a miner who lowers himself into a deep pit in order to retrieve precious stones. Just as there is great danger involved in this task, so is there great spiritual danger to the soul during its descent. By following the ways of the great Jewish sages and connecting ourselves to them, we help protect the soul. This is the meaning of the Chassidic expression, \"One who is connected from above does not fall down.\"",
