9546. 'Towards My faces unceasingly' means the Lord's presence thereby with peace and heavenly joy flowing from His mercy. This is clear from the meaning of Jehovah's or the Lord's 'faces' as all the blessings attributable to Divine Love or to mercy, such as innocence, peace, or joy, thus heaven itself with those who receive them. For when the word 'faces' refers to people on earth and angels in heaven it means interior things, which are attributes of the will and consequently of the understanding, and so which are attributes of love and consequently of faith, see 1999, 2434, 3527, 3573, 4066, 4796, 4798, 5102, 5165, 5168, 5585, 5592, 6604, 6848, 6849, 9306; and from this it may be recognized that when the word 'faces' refers to Jehovah or the Lord it means those things which are the attributes of Divine Love or of mercy, thus all celestial good, 222, 223, 5585, 9306.

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.
