Moses held a unique position of authority

The fact was Moses had a unique position of authority and he had a unique ministry of prophecy and teaching, it was Moses who had, under God established Israel’s entire constitution, their legal, civil and sacrificial system, absolutely everything had been initiated by him following his time alone with the LORD in the mountain. No other man in the entire history of the nation of Israel played such a pivotal role. No one was to follow him and no other person fulfilled such a singular role in the nation, not even David or Solomon. Everywhere you look in the Pentateuch you will see the powerful hand of Moses.
