SEV Biblia, Chapter 12:7
No así a mi siervo Moisés, que es fiel en toda mi casa.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Numbers 12:7
Verse 7. Moses-is faithful] man neeman, a prefect or superintendent. So Sam. is termed, 1 Sam. ii. 35; iii. 20; David is so called, 1 Sam. xviii. 27, Neeman, and son-in-law of the king. Job xii. 20, speaks of the Neemanim as a name of dignity. It seems also to have been a title of respect given to ambassadors, Proverbs xiii. 17; xxv. 13. Calmet well observes that the word fidelity is often used for an employ, office, or dignity, and refers to 1 Chronicles ix. 22, 26, 31; 2 Chron. xxxi. 12, 15; xxxiv. 12, &c. Moses was a faithful, well-tried servant in the house of God, and therefore he uses him as a familiar, and puts confidence in him.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 7. My servant Moses [is] not so , etc.] Or such a prophet; he is not so used; it was not in such a manner the Lord spake to him; not in visions and dreams, as he had to Abraham and Jacob, and did to others in later times: who [is] faithful in all mine house ; in the house of Israel, or among that people which were the Lord’s family, where Moses was a servant and steward, and did all things according to the will of the Lord, the master of the family; he faithfully delivered to them all the laws, statutes, and ordinances, which he appointed to be observed by them: unless this is to be understood of the tabernacle, which was the house of God, in which he dwelt, and which was made, and all things in it, exactly according to the pattern given by the Lord to Moses: (see Hebrews 3:2,5 8:5).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-9 - The patience of Moses was tried in his own family, as well as by the people. The pretence was, that he had married a foreign wife; but probably their pride was hurt, and their envy stirred up, by his superior authority. Opposition from our near relations, and from religious friends, is most painful. But this is to be looked for, an it will be well if in such circumstances we can preserve the gentlenes and meekness of Moses. Moses was thus fitted to the work he was calle to. God not only cleared Moses, but praised him. Moses had the spiri of prophecy in a way which set him far above all other prophets; yet he that is least in the kingdom of heaven, is greater than he; and ou Lord Jesus infinitely excels him, Heb 3:1. Let Miriam and Aaro consider whom it was they insulted. We have reason to be afraid of saying or doing any thing against the servants of God. And those ar presumptuous indeed who are not afraid to speak evil of dignities, 2P 2:10. The removal of God's presence is the surest and saddest token of God's displeasure. Woe to us, if he depart! he never departs, till by sin and folly we drive him from us.
