"and not as Moses, who put a veil on his face, that the children of Israel wouldn't look steadfastly on the end of that which was passing away."
— 2 Corinthians 3:13, World English Bible
“And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:”
“andarenot as Moses, whoput a veil upon his face, that the children of Israel should not look stedfastly on the end of that which was passing away: ”
“and not like Moses who used to put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites from staring at the result of the glory that was made ineffective.”
“And not as Moses put a veil upon his face, that the children of Israel might not steadfastly look on the face of that which is made void.”
“And are not like Moses, who put a veil on his face, so that the children of Israel might not see clearly to the end of the present order of things:”
“And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:”
For most certainly that which has been made glorious has not been made glorious in this respect, by reason of the glory that surpasses.
For if that which passes away was with glory, much more that which remains is in glory.
Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,
and not as Moses, who put a veil on his face, that the children of Israel wouldn't look steadfastly on the end of that which was passing away.
But their minds were hardened, for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains, because in Christ it passes away.
But to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.
But whenever one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
