It is one thing to make a bold request before God. It’s another to have that request answered, and then to continue to make even bolder requests. That doesn’t stop Moses from asking though. His request is that God would “show him His glory.” God grants the request and leaves Moses to go back to the people of Israel with a face shining so bright he has to wear a veil. This story seems removed from us today, but Paul would make it clear that Moses’s shining face has much to teach us about the Old Covenant, the New Covenant, and the grace of God in Jesus Christ.
