MASS READINGS
FIRST READING
"They saw Moses arrive: his face shone, and they did not dare to approach"
Reading the Book of Exodus 34, 29-35
When Moses came down from Mount Sinai,
having the two tables of the Testimony in his hands,
he did not know that his face had shone with light
since he had spoken with the Lord.
Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses arrive;
his face shone.
As they did not dare to approach, Moses called them.
Aaron and all the leaders of the community then came to him,
and he spoke to them.
Then all the children of Israel drew near,
and he imparted to them all the commands the Lord had given him
on Mount Sinai.
When he was done talking to them,
he put a veil over his face.
And when he came before the Lord
to speak with him,
he took off his veil
until he came out.
So he conveyed to the sons of Israel
the orders he had received,
and the sons of Israel saw his face shine.
Then he would put the veil back on his face
until he came home to speak with the Lord.
- Word of the Lord.
