Exodus 34:29-35 and Luke 6:46-49 (NLT)

Exodus 34:29-35
The Radiant Face of Moses

29  When Moses came down Mount Sinai carrying the two stone tablets inscribed with the terms of the covenant, he wasn’t aware that his face had become radiant because he had spoken to the Lord.
30  So when Aaron and the people of Israel saw the radiance of Moses’ face, they were afraid to come near him.
31  But Moses called out to them and asked Aaron and all the leaders of the community to come over, and he talked with them.
32  Then all the people of Israel approached him, and Moses gave them all the instructions the Lord had given him on Mount Sinai.
33  When Moses finished speaking with them, he covered his face with a veil.
34  But whenever he went into the Tent of Meeting to speak with the Lord, he would remove the veil until he came out again. Then he would give the people whatever instructions the Lord had given him,
35  and the people of Israel would see the radiant glow of his face. So he would put the veil over his face until he returned to speak with the Lord.

Luke 6:46-49
The Wise and Foolish Builders
46  “So why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say?
47  I will show you what it’s like when someone comes to me, listens to my teaching, and then follows it.
48  It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock. When the floodwaters rise and break against that house, it stands firm because it is well built.
49  But anyone who hears and doesn’t obey is like a person who builds a house without a foundation. When the floods sweep down against that house, it will collapse into a heap of ruins.”
