³³And when Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil on his face.

³⁴But when Moses went in before the Lord to speak with Him, ^[a]he took the veil off until he came out. And he came out and told the Israelites what he was commanded.

³⁵The Israelites saw the face of Moses, how the skin of it shone; and Moses put the veil on his face again until he went in to speak with God.

Footnotes

Exodus 34:34 The apostle Paul expressly refers to this incident when he says that we all may, with unveiled faces, behold the glory of the Lord, and be transformed (II Cor. 3:13-18). That blessed vision, which of old was given only to the great leader of Israel, is now within reach of each individual believer. The Gospel has no fences to keep the crowd off the mount of vision; the lowliest and most unworthy of its children may pass upward where the shining glory is to be seen. “We all... are changed” (F. B. Meyer, Moses, the Servant of God).
