Exodus 34:29-35

Modern English Version

Moses’ Radiant Face

²⁹ When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of testimony in the hands of Moses, when he came down from the mountain, Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone while he talked with Him. ³⁰ So when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, amazingly, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come near him. ³¹ But Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned to him, and Moses spoke to them. ³² Afterward all the children of Israel drew near, and he commanded them all that the Lord had spoken to him on Mount Sinai.

³³ When Moses finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face. ³⁴ But whenever Moses went in before the Lord to speak with Him, he took the veil off until he came out. Then he came out and spoke to the children of Israel what he had been commanded. ³⁵ The children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face shone, and then Moses put the veil over his face again until he went in to speak with Him.
