Effulgence
Effulgence means shining forth brilliantly; radiant.
When Moses descended from Mount Sinai after obtaining the replacement set of the Ten Commandments, his face exhibited so much effulgence that his fellow Israelites feared him.
It came about when Moses was coming down from Mount Sinai (and the two tablets of the testimony were in Moses' hand as he was coming down from the mountain), that Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because of his speaking with Him. (Exodus 34:29, NASB)
This painting, "The Shining Face of Moses" is part of the James Kuhn Gallery. Kuhn, a contemporary artist, also has a MySpace that can be accessed here.
