Bible in Basic English

Then Moses sent for them; and Aaron, with the chiefs of the people, came to him; and Moses had talk with them.

And later, all the children of Israel came near, and he gave them all the orders which the Lord had given him on Mount Sinai.

And at the end of his talk with them, Moses put a veil over his face.

But whenever Moses went in before the Lord to have talk with him, he took off the veil till he came out. And whenever he came out he said to the children of Israel what he had been ordered to say;

And the children of Israel saw that the face of Moses was shining: so Moses put the veil over his face again till he went to the Lord.

“And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him: and Moses talked with them. And afterward all the children of Israel came nigh: and he gave them in commandment all that the Lord had spoken with him in mount Sinai. And till Moses had done speaking with them, he put a vail on his face. But when Moses went in before the Lord to speak with him, he took the vail off, until he came out. And he came out, and spake unto the children of Israel that which he was commanded. And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face shone: and Moses put the vail upon his face again, until he went in to speak with him. ”
