Exodus 34:28-30

New International Reader's Version

²⁸ Moses was there with the Lord for 40 days and 40 nights. He didn’t eat any food or drink any water. The Lord wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant law. Those words are the Ten Commandments.

The Face of Moses Shines

²⁹ Moses came down from Mount Sinai. He had the two tablets of the covenant law in his hands. His face was shining because he had spoken with the Lord. But he didn’t realize it. ³⁰ Aaron and all the people of Israel saw Moses. His face was shining. So they were afraid to come near him.
