Moses

45 ^(A)From Jacob's descendants the Lord raised up a godly man who won the favor of everyone, loved by God and people alike. This man was Moses, whose very memory is a blessing. ² The Lord made him as glorious as the angels and made his enemies fear him. ³ There in Egypt at his command the disaster struck.^[a] The Lord made kings hold him in respect. The Lord gave him his commands for his people and showed him the dazzling light of his presence. ⁴ The Lord chose Moses out of the whole human race and consecrated him because of his loyalty and humility. ⁵ He let him hear his voice and led him into the dark cloud, where, face-to-face, he gave him the commandments, the Law that gives life and knowledge, so that Moses might teach the covenant regulations to the Israelites.
