Reading for August 7th

Read Exodus 34.17-35
In verses 19-20: On redeeming the firstborn, see comment on 13.13.
In verse 24: To covet refers to the inner yearning and strong desire to take something that rightfully belongs to others, especially the poor and less powerful.
In verse 29: Moses' unique and close relationship with God caused some of God's divine radiance or light to pass onto Moses.
Thus, the skin of his face shone.
In verse 33: Just as the cloud veiled the deity's fiery radiance or glory (24.15-18), so Moses put a veil on his face to shield the people from his own shinning radiance.
