afraid.
Num. 12:8• 8With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches: and the similitude of the Lord shall he behold; wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses? (Num. 12:8)
;
Mark 9:3,15• 3and his garments became shining, exceeding white [as snow], such as fuller on earth could not white them.
 15And immediately all the crowd seeing him were amazed, and running to [him], saluted him. (Mark 9:3,15)
;
Luke 5:8• 8But Simon Peter seeing it, fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, Lord. (Luke 5:8)
• here it was a glory as it were external and legal, not like that of Jehovah Himself in the Person of Jesus. Thus Israel could not behold it. (“Exodus 33-34” by J.N. Darby)
• It is this incident which the Apostle Paul adduces to show the contrast between “the ministration of death,” (2 Cor. 3:7) and “the ministration of the Spirit;” (2 Cor. 3:8) or “the ministration of condemnation,” (2 Cor. 3:9) and “the ministration of righteousness;” that is, between the dispensation of law, and the dispensation of grace. The face of Moses, it should be remarked, did not shine when he came down from Sinai the first time; not until his return from his successful mediation on behalf of the people on account of their sin. Why, then, were they afraid to come near him? Because the very glory that shone on his face searched their hearts and consciences—being what they were, sinners, and unable of themselves to meet even the smallest requirement of the covenant which had now been inaugurated. (“Apostasy, Meditation and Restoration: Exodus 32-34” by E. Dennett)
• {God} has put Him in the glory, so that the glory of God now shines forth in the face of Jesus Christ. It is this fact that gives confidence to our souls, enables us to draw near in peace, because the very glory that we behold is the evidence to us that all that was against us is cleared away. Hence, instead of putting a veil on His face, as Moses did, because the children of Israel were afraid to draw nigh, He is at God’s right hand with unveiled face, and we delightedly contemplate the glory that is there displayed, and as we gaze we are changed into the same image from glory to glory, as by the Spirit of the Lord (2 Cor. 3:4). (“Apostasy, Meditation and Restoration: Exodus 32-34” by E. Dennett)
