vet, In addition to the allusions to the veils worn by women (a custom widespread in the East) and the biblical instruction for women to cover their heads in prayer (see HEAD), the veil is used symbolically in the Scriptures of that which hide the glory of God. So it was literally when Moses came down from the mount; his face shone because of the glory he had seen, and the people could not bear this glare; therefore, he covered his face with a veil. This veil remains over the hearts of Jews today when they read the Law (Ex. 34:33-35; cf. 2 Cor. 3:15). They cannot see the glory of which the Law gave the type; but in due time God will remove the veil, and they will see Christ under the shadows of the Law, and then they will receive Him whom they now reject. In contrast to that ministry, in which the glory had to be veiled due to Israel’s inability to behold it, Christians can now behold the glory of the Lord, whose face is unveiled, and be changed into the same image of glory in glory, as by the Spirit of the Lord (2 Cor. 3:13-18).
