The Face of Moses Shines

²⁹ Then Moses came down from Mount Sinai, carrying the two stone tablets of the ·Agreement [Covenant; Testimony; Treaty] in his hands. But he did not know that his face was shining because he had talked with the Lord [^Creflecting God’s holiness and glory and demonstrating Moses’ authority]. ³⁰ When Aaron and all the ·people [^Lsons; children] of Israel saw that Moses’ face was shining, they were afraid to go near him. ³¹ But Moses called to them, so Aaron and all the ·leaders of the people [^Lmen of the community/congregation/assembly] returned to Moses, and he talked with them.
