10. For indeed what once had kavod has lost its kavod [SHEMOT 34:29-30] on account of the surpassing kavod (glory).
11. For if the thing which now is fading away came with kavod (glory), much more has that which remains come in kavod.
12. Since, then, we have such a tikvah (hope), we act with much boldness.
13. And we are not as Moshe Rabbeinu, who was putting HAMMASVEH Al PANAV ("the veil over his face" SHEMOT 34:33, 35) so that the Bnei Yisroel might not see the end of the fading kavod.
14. But their minds were hardened; [Ro 11:25] for until the present day the same veil remains unlifted at the Kri'at HaSefer Torah (the reading of Torah in shul), because the veil is taken away in Moshiach.
15. But even today, whenever Moshe [Rabbeinu] is being read, a veil lies on their levavot.
16. But whenever one turns to Adoneinu HAMMASVEH is taken away. [SHEMOT 34:34; YESHAYAH 25:7; Ro 11:23-26]
17. Now Adoneinu is HaRuach and where HaRuach Adoneinu is, there is cherut (freedom). [YESHAYAH 61:1,2; Yn 7:39; 8:32,36; Ro 8:2; Ga 5:1,13]
18. Now all of us, with unveiled faces, seeing the kavod of Adoneinu [SHEMOT 16:7; 24:17] as if reflected in a mirror, are being transformed into the same demut from kavod to kavod, even as from HaAdon, HaRuach.
