And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: |
unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the end of what was passing away. |
and not as Moses, who used to put a veil over his face that the sons of Israel might not look intently at the end of what was fading away. |
We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites from gazing at it while the radiance was fading away. |
Nor [do we act] like Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the Israelites might not gaze upon the finish of the vanishing [splendor which had been upon it]. |
and not even as Moses put a covering over his face to the end that the sons of Israel should not fix their gaze upon the termination of that which is passing away. |
We are not like Moses, who veiled his face to prevent the Israelites from seeing the fading glory. |
not as Moses did, who used to wear a veil over his face, to keep the Israelites from gazing at the end of what was passing away. |
