The Church Fathers on this verse

One Church Father comments on this verse

Ambrose of Milan

4th centuryChurch Father

Despite numerous challenges, he focused entirely on understanding God, seeking to witness the glory of the Lord directly, as attested in Scripture, which declares that no prophet was more honored than Moses, who encountered God intimately. Not through visions or dreams, but directly, he communicated with the Almighty; and not through conjecture or ambiguity, but with clarity and precision, he proclaimed the majesty of God.
