"Paul assumes that Moses made an ascension to the presence of the Lord, was transformed by that encounter, and that his shining face is a reflection of the encounter."

-- "Paul and the Beginning of Jewish Mysticism", Alan F. Segal, in Death, Ecstasy, and Other Worldly Journeys, ed. John. J. Collins, Michael Fishbane, 1995, p. 111.
