{In this respect} (en tout(9369) t(9369) merei). The glory on the
face of Moses was temporary, though real, and passed away (verse
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 doxaz(935c)). {By reason of the glory that
surpasseth} (heineken t(8873) huperballous(8873) dox(8873)). The surpassing
(huper-ball(935c), throwing beyond) glory. Christ as the Sun of
Righteousness has thrown Moses in the shade. Cf. the claims of
superiority by Christ in Mt 5-7 .
