Top 7 Bible Verses About Moses

Numbers 12:3 “Now the man Moses was very meek, more than all people who were on the face of the earth.”

When Moses was said to be the meekest man on earth, it didn’t mean he was the weakest man on earth. Isn’t meekness only strength that’s under control? Yes, Moses did have a problem with his temper, but he had intervened for Israel several times. On one occasion after Israel had once again rebelled against God, He was just going to start over with Moses descendants (Ex 32:11-14) but Moses prayed for the sake of God’s own name, which He had sworn by, that He had told Abram (later, Abraham), “And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed” (Gen 12:2-3).

Number 12:7-8 “But this is not true of my servant Moses; he is faithful in all my house. With him I speak face to face, clearly and not in riddles; he sees the form of the Lord.”

This was right after “Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married” and tauntingly, they asked “Has the Lord indeed spoken only through Moses? Has he not spoken through us also?” And the Lord heard it” (Num 12:2). God asked them, “Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?” And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them, and he departed” (Num 12:8b-9). It may have only been because Moses pleaded for their lives that God did spare them, but not of all of the consequences for speaking evil of their leader, Moses (Num 12:13). The point is, God spoke directly to His servant Moses and was as close to Him as to see “the form of the Lord.”

Acts 3:22 “Moses said, ‘The Lord God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers. You shall listen to him in whatever he tells you.”

This verse comes right after the Apostle Peter had helped a lame man to walk but acknowledges that it is in Jesus’ “name—by faith in his name—has made this man strong whom you see and know, and the faith that is through Jesus has given the man this perfect health in the presence of you all” (Acts 3:16). Peter says to those gathered “in the portico called Solomon’s” (Acts 3:11) that they had “killed the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead. To this we are witnesses” (Acts 3:15) and this was Him who Moses prophesied about that would be from among their own brothers (Judah), and they will “listen to him in whatever he tells you.” Part of this prophecy, found in Deuteronomy 18:15-19,  says “whoever will not listen to my words that he shall speak in my name, I myself will require it of him” (Deut 18:19). Jesus said that He would speak the Father’s words in John 12:49: “For I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment—what to say and what to speak.”
