READING: Exodus
34: 29 - 35
29
And when Moses came down from the mount Sinai, he held the two tables
of the testimony, and he knew not that his face was horned from the
conversation of the Lord.
30
And Aaron and the children of Israel seeing the face of Moses horned,
were afraid to come near.
31
And being called by him, they returned, both Aaron and the rulers of
the congregation. And after that he spoke to them.
32
And all the children of Israel came to him: and he gave them in
commandment all that he had heard of the Lord in mount Sinai.
33
And having done speaking, he put a veil upon his face.
34
But when he went in to the Lord, and spoke with him, he took it away
until he came forth, and then he spoke to the children of Israel all
things that had been commanded him.
35
And they saw that the face of Moses when he came out was horned, but
he covered his face again, if at any time he spoke to them.
PSALM:
Psalms 99:
5 - 7, 9
5
Exalt ye the Lord our God, and adore his footstool, for it is holy.
6
Moses and Aaron among his priests: and Samuel among them that call
upon his name. They called upon the Lord, and he heard them:
7
He spoke to them in the pillar of the cloud. They kept his
testimonies, and the commandment which he gave them.
9
Exalt ye the Lord our God, and adore at his holy mountain: for the
Lord our God is holy.
GOSPEL:
Matthew 13:
44 - 46
44
The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in a field.
Which a man having found, hid it, and for joy thereof goeth, and
selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
45
Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a merchant seeking good
pearls.
46
Who when he had found one pearl of great price, went his way, and
sold all that he had, and bought it.
