• In this Moses is in all respects a type of Christ, who stands personally outside the rights which grace has conferred upon the people. (“Numbers 12” by J.N. Darby)
• This is referred to in Hebrews 3:2-6, contrasting Moses faithful in all God’s house as a servant, with the Lord Jesus in His superiority as Son over God’s house, not His own house. It is God’s house there. Moses was servant; Christ is Son. So God’s testimony here about Moses is taken up there. It refers specially to God impressing upon him to make everything according to the pattern shown him. That is acknowledged by God right through Exodus 40. I do not know how often the words, “as the Lord commanded Moses” occur. That is where his faithfulness comes in. (“Chapter 12.” by J.A. Taylor, of Worthing)
