Charles Ellicott Commentary Exodus 33:14

"And he said, My presence shall go [with thee], and I will give thee rest." — Exodus 33:14 (ASV)

My presence shall go with thee. —There is no “with thee” in the original, and consequently the phrase is ambiguous. Moses could not tell whether it was a personal promise to himself, or a renewal of the old engagement to go with the people. He consequently requires something more explicit. Will God go, not merely with him, but with the people? (Exodus 33:15–16).
