EXODUS 34:35 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face shone: and Moses put the vail upon his face again, until he went in to speak with him.”
They saw that his face was radiant. Then Moses would put the veil back over his face until he went in to speak with the Lord. The chapter closes with the established pattern: community sees the radiant face, Moses speaks, Moses re-veils, the veil comes off in the divine presence. 2 Corinthians 3:16 says whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away — what Moses covered and uncovered in alternating cycles, Christ removes permanently for all who turn to Him. The partial, temporary unveiling at Sinai becomes the permanent, complete unveiling in Christ. The veil that Moses put on and took off, Christ takes away forever.
