Expositor's Bible Commentary Commentary Hebrews 3:2

"who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also was Moses in all his house." — Hebrews 3:2 (ASV)

The point could have been made that there were times when Moses was not as faithful as he might have been. But the writer makes no criticism of the man held in such honor by the Jews. He prefers to accept Moses as “faithful.” Yet he sees Jesus’ faithfulness as much more comprehensive. Moses was no more than part of the “house,” but Jesus made the house. Again, Jesus as Son was over the house, whereas Moses was a servant in it. The “house,” of course, is the household of God, the people of God. Moses was a member of that house and proved faithful there . The adjective “all” may point to a concern both Moses and Jesus had for the whole house. Others, such as prophets, kings, or priests, dealt with restricted areas.
