²⁸And he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights: he neither ate bread nor drank water, and he wrote upon the tables the ten words of the covenant.

²⁹And when Moses came down from the Mount Sinai, he held the two tables of the testimony, and he knew not that his face was horned from the conversation of the Lord.

³⁰And Aaron and the children of Israel seeing the face of Moses horned, were afraid to come near.

³¹And being called by him, they returned, both Aaron and the rulers of the congregation. And after that he spoke to them,

³²And all the children of Israel came to him: and he gave them in commandment all that he had heard of the Lord on Mount Sinai.

³³And having done speaking, he put a veil upon his face.

³⁴But when he went in to the Lord, and spoke with him, he took it away until he came forth, and then he spoke to the children of Israel all things that had been commanded him.

³⁵And they saw that the face of Moses when he came out was horned, but he covered his face again, if at any time he spoke to them.
