Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Corinthians 3:15

15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart .

The Veil, mystically signified, by the Veil upon Moses his face, which hindereth them from seeing, or discerning the Messiah to be come. But why doth he say, When Moses, that is, the Books of Moses, or rather of the Old Testament, are read? Possibly he thereby hinteth, that it was their duty, when in the Synagogues they heard the Chapters of the Old Testament read, which contain the Types and Prophecies of Christ, they ought to have looked through those Veils, and have considered Christ as the End of those things; so the Law, as a Schoolmaster, should have led them to Christ: but it was quite otherwise. When they heard those portions of the Old Testament read, through the Veil upon their hearts, they could not see through the Veil of those Types, Prophecies, and ritual Performances, but rested in them as things, In the performance of which they laid their Righteousness. Or, if they before had some little convictions upon their spirits, yet when they again came into the Synagogues, and heard the Law read, the Veil again appeared over their hearts, so as they could not see Christ.
