Matthew Poole and continuators on Exodus 34:29

29 And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai, (with the two tables of testimony in Moses hand, when he came down from the mount) that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone , while he talked with him.

Because now he obtained, what he did not before, to wit, a glimpse of the Divine glory, which though but very transient, left its print upon his [illegible: 1+ letters]ace. 2. Now it was more necessary than before, to procure the greater honour to Moses and to the law, 2 Cor. 3. [illegible: 1+ letters], 8, 11. because of the late horrid violation and contempt of them which the Israelites had fallen into.
