Contextual Overview

28 He was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread, nor drank water. He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the ten mitzvot. 29 It happened, when Moshe came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the testimony in Moshe' hand, when he came down from the mountain, that Moshe didn't know that the skin of his face shone by reason of his speaking with him. 30 When Aharon and all the children of Yisra'el saw Moshe, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come near him. 31 Moshe called to them, and Aharon and all the rulers of the congregation returned to him; and Moshe spoke to them. 32 Afterward all the children of Yisra'el came near, and he gave them all of the mitzvot that the LORD had spoken with him on Mount Sinai. 33 When Moshe was done speaking with them, he put a veil on his face. 34 But when Moshe went in before the LORD to speak with him, he took the veil off, until he came out; and he came out, and spoke to the children of Yisra'el that which he was commanded. 35 The children of Yisra'el saw Moshe' face, that the skin of Moshe' face shone: and Moshe put the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Moses called unto them,.... Who, as it appears by what follows, on sight of him were so terrified, that they did not proceed on to meet him, but went back, and therefore he called unto them to return and come forward:

and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him; knowing him by his voice, and encouraged by his call of them, who before might take him to be something more than human, some glorious form, one of the heavenly angels appearing in this manner:

and Moses talked with them; after he had put a vail on his face, of which there is an account in the following verses. He talked with them friendly, and told them all that had happened to him in the mount; what a glorious sight he had been indulged with; what a proclamation of the grace and goodness of God had been made to him; and what laws and ordinances God had enjoined him and them the observance of.
