Exodus 34:29

The Radiant Face of Moses

34:29 ⁸ Now when Moses came down ⁹  from Mount Sinai with ¹⁰  the two tablets of the testimony in his hand ¹¹  – when he came down ¹²  from the mountain, Moses ¹³  did not know that the skin of his face shone ¹⁴  while he talked with him.

36:24 He made forty silver bases under the twenty frames – two bases under the first frame for its two projections, and likewise ¹⁵  two bases under the next frame for its two projections,

[26:23]  ¹ sn The term rendered “corners” is “an architectural term for some kind of special corner structure. Here it seems to involve two extra supports, one at each corner of the western wall” (N. M. Sarna, Exodus [JPSTC], 170).

[18:6]  ² sn This verse may seem out of place, since the report has already been given that they came to the desert. It begins to provide details of the event that the previous verse summarizes. The announcement in verse 6 may have come in advance by means of a messenger or at the time of arrival, either of which would fit with the attention to formal greetings in verse 7. This would suit a meeting between two important men; the status of Moses has changed. The LXX solves the problem by taking the pronoun “I” as the particle “behold” and reads it this way: “one said to Moses, ‘Behold, your father-in-law has come….’”

[6:16]  ³ tn Or “generations.”

[32:15]  ⁴ tn The disjunctive vav (ו) serves here as a circumstantial clause indicator.

[36:26]  ⁵ tn Heb “under the one frame” again.

[6:20]  ⁶ tn Heb “took for a wife” (also in vv. 23, 25).

[26:19]  ⁷ tn The clause is repeated to show the distributive sense; it literally says, “and two bases under the one frame for its two projections.”

[34:29]  ⁸ sn Now, at the culmination of the renewing of the covenant, comes the account of Moses’ shining face. It is important to read this in its context first, holding off on the connection to Paul’s discussion in 2 Corinthians. There is a delicate balance here in Exodus. On the one hand Moses’ shining face served to authenticate the message, but on the other hand Moses prevented the people from seeing more than they could handle. The subject matter in the OT, then, is how to authenticate the message. The section again can be subdivided into three points that develop the whole idea: I. The one who spends time with God reflects his glory (29-30). It will not always be as Moses; rather, the glory of the Lord is reflected differently today, but nonetheless reflected. II. The glory of Yahweh authenticates the message (31-32). III. The authentication of the message must be used cautiously with the weak and immature (33-35).

[34:29]  ⁹ tn The temporal clause is composed of the temporal indicator (“and it happened”), followed by the temporal preposition, infinitive construct, and subjective genitive (“Moses”).

[34:29]  ¹⁰ tn The second clause begins with “and/now”; it is a circumstantial clause explaining that the tablets were in his hand. It repeats the temporal clause at the end.

[34:29]  ¹¹ tn Heb “in the hand of Moses.”

[34:29]  ¹² tn The temporal clause parallels the first temporal clause; it uses the same infinitive construct, but now with a suffix referring to Moses.

[34:29]  ¹³ tn Heb “and Moses.”

[34:29]  ¹⁴ tn The word קָרַן (qaran) is derived from the noun קֶרֶן (qeren) in the sense of a “ray of light” (see Hab 3:4). Something of the divine glory remained with Moses. The Greek translation of Aquila and the Latin Vulgate convey the idea that he had horns, the primary meaning of the word from which this word is derived. Some have tried to defend this, saying that the glory appeared like horns or that Moses covered his face with a mask adorned with horns. But in the text the subject of the verb is the skin of Moses’ face (see U. Cassuto, Exodus, 449).

[36:24]  ⁹ tn The clause is repeated to show the distributive sense; it literally says, “and two bases under the one frame for its two projections.”
