Exodus 34:32Meaning & Commentary from the Church Fathers

The Israelites are overwhelmed with fear upon seeing Moses’ radiant face. He beckons them closer to share God's messages, and as he approaches the Lord, he removes his veil. In 2 Corinthians 3, the Apostle Paul addresses this instance, indicating that a veil still covers the hearts of the people of Israel. This veil can only be lifted when they turn to the Lord.
