Adventistische Schriften über: "What was Moses’ personality like?"

Moses is described as patient, reverent, and humble; at the same time, he was strong in his faith in God. He showed perseverance and endured insults without retaliating. His meekness and forbearance developed especially during his years in the wilderness; earlier, in his first attempt to help his people, he had acted impulsively.

Humble, meek, and strong in faith

»Moses became patient, reverent, and humble and was “meek above all the men which were upon the face of the earth,” yet strong in faith in the mighty God of Jacob.«

An impulsive reaction at first

»He killed an Egyptian who was oppressing an Israelite. In this, he showed the spirit of the one who was a murderer from the beginning, and proved himself unfit to represent the God of mercy, love, and tenderness. […] The Lord permitted this to teach Moses meekness, goodness, and forbearance.«
