Reading for September 17th

 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. Comments or Questions..
