• They could not look to the end; they did not know when they offered a sacrifice that this was typical of Christ. The “end” is clearly God’s purpose in it, and this was what they could not look to. (“Notes on 2 Corinthians 3” by J.N. Darby)
• Thus the character of the law prevented Israel from understanding even the glory which was in the ordinances, as a figure of that which was better and permanent; and the whole system ordained by the hand of Moses was veiled to their eyes, and the people fell under the letter, even in that part of the law which was a testimony of things to be spoken afterwards. (“2 Corinthians 3” by J.N. Darby)
• The effect of this partial display of glory was that when Moses came down from the mount the second time his face shone (Ex. 34:29-35). Even so, the people could not endure the reflection of this partial display of the glory of God in the face of Moses. (“2 Corinthians 3” by H. Smith)
• The glory in the face of Moses was veiled, with the result that Israel could neither see the measure of glory displayed in the law, nor Christ "the end" to which the law pointed. (“2 Corinthians 3” by H. Smith)
