Stromata
The veil Moses wore to shield the people from the glory shining on his face.
This glory that shone upon the face of Moses the people were not able to look upon, wherefore he took a veil of the glory toward those who looked carnally.
Adversus Marcionem
The literal veil covering Moses' face, interpreted as a figure of the veil over Jewish hearts.
He commemorates too of the veil of Moses, by which he covered his face, incontemplable to the sons of Israel.
