8/9/14
Moses ask to see God’s face, his request was denied. God
told him that He would put Moses in a cleft in the rock and cover him with His
hand until He passed by then He removed His hand and let Moses see His back;
but not His face. When Moses returned from the mountain his face was shining.
The people were terrified and they wanted to get away from him. His face was so
bright that he had to cover it with a veil so the people could look at him. And
he had only seen the back part of God not His face just think, if they were to
see the reflection from the face of God!
Exo 34:29 When Moses
came down from Mount Sinai, with 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
shone because he had been talking with God.
Exo 34:30 Aaron and
all the people of Israel saw Moses, and behold, the skin of his face shone, and
they were afraid to come near him.
Exo 34:31 But Moses
called to them, and Aaron and all the leaders of the congregation returned to
him, and Moses talked with them.
Exo 34:32 Afterward
all the people of Israel came near, and he commanded them all that the LORD had
spoken with him in Mount Sinai.
Exo 34:33 And when
Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face.
