2 Corinthians 3:7
But if the ministration of death. The Old Covenant, the law is
so called, because it places under the sentence of death.
Written [and] engraven on stones. Only the Decalogue was written
on stones. It was the central and most important part of the Old
Covenant. Let it be noted that when Paul speaks of the law, or Old
Testament, he includes the Decalogue, and does not mean simply the
ceremonial law, as some have urged (Exodus 34:1).
Was glorious. So glorious that even the face of Moses was made
to shine as he carried down the tables of the law so that he had to
veil his face (Exodus 34:29).
Which [glory] was to be done away. It was only temporary.
