📚 Historical Context
In the book of Exodus, Moses had just returned from Mount Sinai after receiving the Ten Commandments from God for the second time, following the Israelites' idolatry with the golden calf. His face shone with a divine glow due to his direct encounter with God, which both awed and possibly intimidated the people. To ease their discomfort and maintain normal interactions, Moses covered his face with a veil after speaking to them.
