| Numbers 12:7 | But it is not so with my servant Moses, *who is most faithful in all my house: Hebrews 3:2. | Faithful: Hebrew Neeman, steward or master of the palace. Such was Samuel, 1 Kings 3:20; David, (Calmet) 1 Kings 22:14; Naaman, the general of Syria, 2 Kings v.; and Bacchides, 1 Machabees vii. (Haydock) --- Ambassadors had this title, (Proverbs 13:17,) and fidelity often denotes an office, 1 Paralipomenon 9:22. Job 12:20, speaks of the Namonim. (Calmet) --- But none among the Israelites was more justly entitled to this honour than Moses. He announced the word of God without any mixture of falsehood, and did not arrogate to himself more than his due, as Aaron seems to have done, ver. 2. (Haydock) |
