Exodus 34:28-35
Excerpted from: Of Snowflakes and Suns and GloryThree themes emerge here in Exodus. The first one is that during the 40 days that Moses had been with the being who we know later became Jesus Christ, Moses’ face came to reflect the glory of God (hold onto this concept of “reflect”). Secondly, that glory; that shining face, became a sign which was visible to all; a sign that he had spoken with and was in communication with God and that he was speaking for God whenever he spoke to the people. The people could see this very clearly. There was no question about it. Third, Moses was able to obscure, to cloud, to hide that glory with a veil. The veil allowed him to curtail or to arrest its shining forth.
Exodus 34:28-35
Excerpted from: The Priesthood of God (Part 3)They recognize a great difference between them and God, whether He looks like them or not. He is so far above them in purity and righteousness, and it shames them. They feel they have no right to be in the presence of this Being.
What we can learn from these incidents is that holiness is not merely morality, but a combination of consistent and powerful qualities that express a dazzling purity that tends to make men shrink, as if to hide from fear of exposure.
