EXODUS 34:29 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses’ hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him.”
When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the covenant law in his hands, he was not aware that his face was radiant because he had spoken with the Lord. The radiance of Moses' face after forty days in the divine presence is the most vivid physical sign of what proximity to God does to a person. Moses does not know his face is shining — the transformation produced by God's presence is not self-aware performance but the natural result of having been with God. 2 Corinthians 3:18 says we are all being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory — the transformation of Moses' face by God's glory is the type of the transformation of the whole community through the Spirit's work.
