This title underscores his intimate relationship with God, as seen in <a href="/exodus/33-11.htm">Exodus 33:11</a>, where it is said that God spoke to Moses face to face. Moses' life and ministry are foundational to the history of Israel, as he led the people out of Egypt and received the Law on Mount Sinai. His designation as "the man of God" also points to his role as a type of Christ, who is the ultimate mediator between God and humanity (<a href="/1_timothy/2-5.htm">1 Timothy 2:5</a>).<p><b>his sons were named among the tribe of Levi</b><br>Moses' sons, Gershom and Eliezer, were counted among the tribe of Levi, which was set apart for religious duties and service in the tabernacle. This inclusion emphasizes the hereditary nature of the Levitical priesthood and the importance of family lineage in the Old Testament. The Levites were responsible for the care of the tabernacle and later the temple, playing a crucial role in the spiritual life of Israel. This connection to the tribe of Levi also highlights the continuity of God's covenant promises, as the Levites were chosen to serve God in a special capacity, foreshadowing the priesthood of all believers in the New Testament (<a href="/1_peter/2-9.htm">1 Peter 2:9</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>Known as the "man of God," Moses is a central figure in the Old Testament, chosen by God to lead the Israelites out of Egypt and receive the Law on Mount Sinai.
