²⁹ And^[a] when Moses came down from Mount Sinai, the two tablets of the testimony were in the hand of Moses at his coming down from the mountain; and Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because of his speaking with him. ³⁰ And Aaron and all the Israelites^[b] saw Moses, and, to their amazement,^[c] the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid of coming near to him. ³¹ And Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the leaders of the community returned to him, and Moses spoke to them. ³² And afterward all the Israelites^[d] came near, and he commanded them all that Yahweh had spoken with him on Mount Sinai. ³³ And Moses finished speaking with them, and he put a veil on his face. ³⁴ And when Moses came before Yahweh to speak with him, he would remove the veil until he went out, and he would go out and would speak to the Israelites^[e] what he had been commanded. ³⁵ And the Israelites^[f] would see the face of Moses, that the skin of the face of Moses shone, and Moses would put back the veil on his face until his coming to speak with him.
