The Shining Face of Moses

²⁹ When Moses came down from Mount Sinai, with ^(A)the two tablets of the testimony in his hand as he came down from the mountain, Moses did not know that the skin of his face ^(B)shone because he had been talking with God.^[a]

² And he was ^(A)transfigured before them, and ^(B)his face shone like the sun, and ^(C)his clothes became white as light.

¹⁵ Then ^(A)Moses turned and went down from the mountain with the ^(B)two tablets of the testimony in his hand, tablets that were written on both sides; on the front and on the back they were written.

²⁹ And as he was praying, the appearance of his face was ^(A)altered, and ^(B)his clothing became dazzling white.

^16 (A)In his right hand he held seven stars, ^(B)from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and ^(C)his face was like the sun shining ^(D)in full strength.

¹³ not like Moses, ^(A)who would put a veil over his face so that the Israelites might not gaze at the outcome of what was being brought to an end.

⁷ Now if ^(A)the ministry of death, carved in letters on stone, came with such glory ^(B)that the Israelites could not gaze at Moses' face because of its glory, which was being brought to an end, ⁸ will not the ministry of the Spirit have even more glory? ⁹ For if there was glory in ^(C)the ministry of condemnation, ^(D)the ministry of righteousness must far exceed it in glory.

The Angel and the Little Scroll

10 Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with ^(A)a rainbow over his head, and ^(B)his face was like the sun, and ^(C)his legs like pillars of fire.

¹⁵ And gazing at him, all who sat in the council saw that his face ^(A)was like the face of an angel.

¹³ Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for ^(A)Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in the place.
