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.

30 And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him.

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, it seems that Moses must have been somewhat transfigured to survive 40 days and nights in the top of the mountain without even water. And so, it is understandable that when he descended back down to the people his face was shining, such that people were too afraid to even approach him. Moses may have been back among the common man, but the glory of God still burned within him.

While I certainly have never been transfigured like this, I am well aware of the glow within the soul that follows a period of deep spiritual connection. It is unquestionably the best that I have ever felt, and it can continue for days after the original experience. I’ve never had that flush last forever, but there have been personal changes made in that time which have continued with me to this day (including the writing of this blog). While we are not told whether Moses’s face ever returned to normal, my assumption would be that after some time it did.
