1 | Moses shining face | Ex 34:29 | Makarios | 42446 | ||
Greetings kgj1264! Exodus 34:29-35 mentions how Moses' face began to shine after he spoke with God. 2 Corinthians 3:7-18 seems to convey the meaning that Moses' face began to 'fade.' I believe that his face began to fade after being away from the radiance of God. But yes, I do believe that Moses did have to wear a veil each time after he met with God to hide the radiance, so that he could speak with the people. Blessings to you, Makarios |

2 | Moses shining face | Ex 34:29 | Scribe | 42487 | ||
Ex 34:30 And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him. Ex 34:31 And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him: and Moses talked with them. Makarios has explained how 2 Cor 3 tells us it was a fading glory. But did you notice something about this story. The fact that the people were afraid of the shining and would not draw nigh. It was not a good thing that Moses had to wear a viel. The viel was a testimony against the unbelief and hardness of heart of the people. Also notice in 2 Cor 3 that he constrasts that fading glory that was visible to them with an unfading glory which is invisible (for now in this life) for us, made available to us who have faith and not a fearful unbelieving heart. Even today we must examine ourselves to make sure we are of the company of the "open face" and not of the number of those that shrink back. |
