Ja minä annan armon tälle kansalle Egyptiläisten edessä, että koska te lähdette, ei teidän pidä tyhjin käsin lähtemän.

6848. 'And Moses hid his face' means that interior things were protected. This is clear from the meaning of 'face' as interior things, dealt with in 1999, 2434, 3527, 4066, 4796, 4797, 5102. The fact that 'hiding' means protecting follows from the train of thought in the internal sense, for it says that 'he hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God', meaning for fear that internal things should suffer harm from the presence of the Divine itself. The implications of this will be stated in what follows immediately below.
