Commento su Esodo 33:18
וַיֹּאמַ֑ר הַרְאֵ֥נִי נָ֖א אֶת־כְּבֹדֶֽךָ׃
E (Mosè) disse: Fammi di grazia vedere la tua Maestà [in segno di solenne promessa, come in Genesi XV].
Rashi on Exodus
ויאמר הראני נא את כבדך AND HE SAID I BESEECH THEE, SHOW ME THY GLORY — Moses saw that the hour was propitious and that his petitions were being favourably received, he therefore made a further request — that God should let him behold a reflection of His Glory.

Ramban on Exodus
AND HE [Moses] SAID: ‘SHOW ME, I PRAY THEE, THY GLORY.’ Moses desired that he should actually see in clear sight the Glory of G-d. It is possible that Thy Glory here means the Great Glory — the clear vision.493See Vol. I, p. 229. And G-d answered him, I will make the measure of all My goodness pass before thee,494Verse 19. that you will comprehend and understand all My goodness more than all men, but the vision of the Presence that you have asked for, you will not be able to see.

Sforno on Exodus
את כבודך, how every creature, every phenomenon in this universe derives from You, even though these phenomena do not appear to be even faintly related to one another. This is what Isaiah 6,3 meant with the words מלא כל הארץ כבודו, “all the earth is filled with His glory.”
