הַ⁠הֹלֵ֣ךְ לִ⁠פְנֵי⁠כֶ֔ם

When Moses says that Yahweh walks to the faces of the Israelites, he is describing how Yahweh goes in front of them to lead them. Military commanders would go in front of their troops and lead them into battle and this is the mental image that Moses is expressing here. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [who guides you]
