But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
Even now, when people read what Moses wrote, it's like there's still a veil covering their hearts, they're missing what's really there.
Sometimes we read the same words but completely miss the deeper meaning.
📚 Historical Context
In the time of the Apostle Paul, many Jews were reading the Law of Moses in their synagogues but failing to see how it pointed to Jesus Christ, as Paul explains in his letter to the Corinthians. He draws from the story in Exodus 34, where Moses wore a veil over his face after speaking with God, symbolizing the temporary glory of the old covenant and the spiritual blindness it could cause. This veil, according to Paul, represents the ongoing barrier in the hearts of those who reject Christ, preventing them from fully grasping the Scriptures' deeper meaning.
