Commentary on Exodus 34:33

Theological / Devotional

Till Moses had done speaking. Preferably, “When Moses had done speaking.” The word “till” is not in the Hebrew. While Moses related to the people “all that the Lord had spoken” (v. 32), his face was unveiled. Thereafter he wore a veil over his face in their presence. This veiling of Moses’ face is a type of Jesus Christ, who veiled His divinity with humanity in order that He might fellowship with us (Phil. 2:5-11; DA 23). Had the Son of God come in the glory of heaven, sinful men could not have endured His presence. But as the Son of man He could associate freely with sinners and prepare them for a restoration to the very presence of God.
