The vail which Moses put on his face, when he perceived that it shone —

1. Teaches us a lesson of modesty and humility: we must be content to have our excellences obscured.

2. It teaches ministers to accommodate themselves to the capacities of the people, and to preach to them as they are able to bear it.

3. The vail signified the darkness of that dispensation in which there were only "shadows of good things to come."

(A. Nevin, D. D.)
