A reading from the book of Exodus.

As Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the commandments in his hands,

he did not know that the skin of his face had become radiant while he conversed with the Lord.

When Aaron then and the other children of Israel saw Moses and noticed how radiant the skin

of his face had become, they were afraid to come near him.

Only after Moses called to them did Aaron and all the rulers of the community come back

to him.

Moses then spoke to them. Later on, all of the children of Israel came up to him. Moses then spoke to them.

Later on, all of the children of Israel came up to him, and he enjoined on them all that the Lord had told him on Mount Sinai.

When he finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face.

Whenever Moses entered the presence of the Lord to converse with him,

he removed the veil until he came out again.

On coming out, he would tell the children of Israel all that had been commanded.

Then the children of Israel would see that the skin of Moses' face was radiant,

so he would again put the veil over his face until he went in to converse with the Lord. The Word of the Lord.

The Responsorial Psalm.

The response is, Holy is the Lord our God.

Extole the Lord, our God, and worship at his footstool.

Holy is He.

Holy is the Lord our God.

Moses and Aaron were among his priests and Samuel among those who called upon his name.
