SCRIPTURE

"My servant Moses is not so; he is faithful in all my house:" — Numbers 12:7 (ASV)

My servant Moses ... — Better, Not so (in regard to) my servant Moses; he is faithful. Reference is made to these words in Hebrews 3:5: And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, that is, in the whole of the Mosaic economy or dispensation, or the house of Israel, which is spoken of as God’s house. A contrast is drawn in Numbers 12:6 between the vocation of Moses as a servant in the house of God and that of Christ as a Son over His own house.
