Exode 34:31 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 34:31

And Moses called unto them
Who, as it appears by what follows, on sight of him were so terrified, that they did not proceed on to meet him, but went back, and therefore he called unto them to return and come forward:

and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him;
knowing him by his voice, and encouraged by his call of them, who before might take him to be something more than human, some glorious form, one of the heavenly angels appearing in this manner:

and Moses talked with them;
after he had put a vail on his face, of which there is an account in the following verses. He talked with them friendly, and told them all that had happened to him in the mount; what a glorious sight he had been indulged with; what a proclamation of the grace and goodness of God had been made to him; and what laws and ordinances God had enjoined him and them the observance of.

Exode 34:31 In-Context

29 Or, lorsque Moïse descendit de la montagne de Sinaï, les deux tables du Témoignage étant dans la main de Moïse, qui descendait de la montagne, Moïse ne savait point que la peau de son visage était devenue rayonnante, pendant qu'il parlait avec Dieu.

30 Mais Aaron et tous les enfants d'Israël virent Moïse, et voici, la peau de son visage rayonnait, et ils craignirent d'approcher de lui.

31 Alors Moïse les appela, et Aaron et tous les principaux de l'assemblée revinrent vers lui, et Moïse leur parla.

32 Après cela, tous les enfants d'Israël s'approchèrent, et il leur commanda tout ce que l'Éternel lui avait dit sur le mont Sinaï.

33 Moïse acheva de parler avec eux; et il mit un voile sur sa face.
