This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
In this respect (en toutōi tōi merei). The glory on the face of Moses was temporary, though real, and passed away (2Co 3:7), a type of the dimming of the glory of the old dispensation by the brightness of the new. The moon makes a dim light after the sun rises, “is not glorified” (ou dedoxastai, perfect passive indicative of doxazō).
By reason of the glory that surpasseth (heineken tēs huperballousēs doxēs). The surpassing (hupeṙballō, throwing beyond) glory. Christ as the Sun of Righteousness has thrown Moses in the shade. Cf. the claims of superiority by Christ in Matthew 5-7.
