Face - Face Shone

Postby dreams » Wed Nov 12, 2003 1:24 pm

Meaning: An expression of joy.

Exodus 34:29-30
And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him. [30] And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him.

Eccles. 8:1
Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed.

Matthew 17:2
And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.

"How her face shone! that was with joy! No wax-candle can shine like two childish eyes!"
