First ReadingExodus 34:29-35

From the Book of Exodus

29When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the covenant in Moses’ hand,when he came down from the mountain,Moses didn’t knowthat the skin of his face shone by reason of his speaking with him.30When Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses,behold, the skin of his face shone;and they were afraid to come near him.31Moses called to them,and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned to him;and Moses spoke to them.32Afterward all the children of Israel came near,and he gave them all the commandmentsthat the Lord had spoken with him on Mount Sinai.33When Moses was done speaking with them,he put a veil on his face.34But when Moses went in before the Lord to speak with him,he took the veil off,until he came out;and he came out, and spoke to the children of Israelthat which he was commanded.35The children of Israel saw Moses’ face,that the skin of Moses’ face shone;so Moses put the veil on his face again,until he went in to speak with him.

Responsorial PsalmPsalm 99:5, 6, 7, 9

5Exalt the Lord our God.Worship at his footstool.He is Holy!

6Moses and Aaron were among his priests,Samuel was among those who call on his name.They called on the Lord, and he answered them.

7He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud.They kept his testimonies,the statute that he gave them.

9Exalt the Lord, our God.Worship at his holy hill,for the Lord, our God, is holy!
