Now, Moses came in unto the Mountain of God, to Horeb, so God called unto him, Moses! Moses! Do not draw nigh hither,—put off thy sandals from thy feet, for, the place whereon thou art standing, is, Holy Ground. (Ex. 3:1-5)
"My servant Moses,—In all my house, trusty, is he: Mouth to Mouth, do I speak with him, And plainly—not in dark sayings, And, the form of Yahweh, doth he discern" (Num. 12:7-8)
