Exodus 34:33 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

And Moses put a veil on his face This veil signified the darkness of that dispensation; the ceremonial institutions had in them much of Christ and the gospel, but a veil was drawn over it, so that the children of Israel could not distinctly and steadfastly see those good things to come which the law had a shadow of. It was beauty veiled, gold in the mine, a pearl in the shell; but thanks be to God, by the gospel, the veil is taken away from off the Old Testament; yet still it remains upon the hearts of those who shut their eyes against the light.

Exodus 34:33

33 And till Moses had done speaking with them, he put a vail on his face.
