Now Moses was a very humble man, more so than any other man on earth.
(Paraphrased: Yet God said of him:) When a prophet of the LORD
arises among you, I make Myself known to him in a vision,
I speak with him in a dream. Not so with My servant Moses;
he is trusted throughout My household.
With him I speak mouth to mouth, plainly and not in riddles,
and he beholds the likeness of the LORD. How then did
you not shrink from speaking against My servant Moses!
(The Torah -- Numbers 12:3, 6-8)
Then the humble shall have increasing joy through the LORD,
And the neediest of men shall exult in the Holy One of Israel.
(The Nevi'im -- Isaiah 29:19)
Thus Said the LORD: The heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool: Where could you build a house for Me, what place could serve as My abode? All this was made by My hand and thus it all came into being.
Yet to such a one I look: To the poor and brokenhearted,
who is concerned about My word.
(The Nevi'im -- Isaiah 66:1-2)
