The Lord, in the simplest terms, is love itself expressed as wisdom itself. In philosophic terms, love is the Lord's substance and wisdom is His form. Of course, we feel the Lord's love and hear His wisdom in many different ways, depending on our state in life and how receptive we are. That's why the Lord has so many different names in the Bible, and is referred to in so many different ways.

10701. 'And he put a veil over his face' means that the inward form which the Church, worship, and the Word take was not visible to the Israelite nation, only the outward without the inward. This is clear from the meaning of 'putting a veil over his face' as closing the inward level in order that the outward form alone, without what exists on the inward level, may be seen. For 'the gleaming of the skin of Moses' face' means the shining forth of the inward level of the Word, the Church, and worship within outward things, see above in 10691. But the interest of that nation lay, as it does at the present day, in outward things devoid of what is inward, see in the places referred to above in 10692. From all this it is also evident how the outward form which the Word, the Church, and worship take among that nation appears in heaven; that is to say, not indeed as a human face but as a veil before the face. For obscurity like this exists with them so far as the interior things of the Word are concerned.
