7. But if the administering of death in letters, engraved on stones, was esteemed, so that the children of Yisra’ĕl were unable to look steadily at the face of Mosheh because of the esteem of his face, which was passing away,
8. how much more esteemed shall the administering of the Spirit not be?
9. For if the administering of condemnation had esteem, the administering of righteousness exceeds much more in esteem.
10. For indeed what was made esteemed had no esteem in this respect, in view of the esteem that excels.
11. For if that which is passing away was esteemed, much more that which remains in esteem.
12. Having then such expectation, we use much boldness of speech,
13. and not like Mosheh, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Yisra’ĕl should not look steadily at the end of what was passing away.
14. But their minds were hardened, for to this day, when the old covenant is being read, that same veil remains, not lifted, because in Messiah it is taken away.
