Vadim,

I see your point.  Ex 33:19 is a very long and indirect way 
of saying - No you may not see my glory.

That provides an interesting transistion into Ex 34.  Moses 
originally asks to be shown Yahweh's way.  Yahweh says I 
will grant you your request.  Moses changes to the subject 
to seeing the glory of Yahweh.  Yahweh says no but does 
show him His goodness are back-side.  Then Yahweh changes 
the subject back to His teachings and has Moses make a new 
set of stone tablets on which will be written the ways of 
Yahweh.  That provides an interupted narrative Teachings - 
Glory - Glory  - Teachings.
