Exodus 34:18-35
No one will covet your land when you go up three times each year to appear before the Lord your God.
Moses wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant - the Ten Commandments.
Moses' face was radiant after spoken with the Lord, and they were afraid to come near him. So Moses put a veil over his face when he speaking to them.
Israel's firstborn belong to God, but are'bought back' from him - there is to be no child-sacrifice as in Canaan. They must not forget Sabbath law in the coming busy seasons of sowing and harvest.
The first fruits are to be brought to God, since it is he who makes the land fruitful. Israel is not to resort to the Canaanite practice of boiling a kid in its mother's milk to increase fertility.
Moses' long communion with God shows in his face when he returns to the people; he begins to reflect something of God's own glory.
Why?
Keep mind about the Lord in our heart, then God will protect us without defeat or loss.
Second time Moses got the tablets of the covenant - Ten Commandments. This time is was written by Moses.
The veil is isolation between us and the Lord, after Jesus came, this veil was removed, we can speak with the Lord through Holy Spirit.
How?
When we have long communion with God, we can reflect something of Jesus' glory.
