How faithful he was to the God who appointed him! For while Moses also was faithful in all God's house,

Jesus has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who has built a house has higher honor than the house itself.

And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, bearing testimony to a witness about to be spoken;

For who were they that heard and yet provoked him? Was it not all who came out of Egypt under the leadership of Moses?

For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, a tribe of which Moses said nothing concerning the priesthood.

Now were he on earth, he would not even be a priest, since there are here those who present the gifts according to the Law??5 those priests who serve a mere outline and shadow of the heavenly reality, just as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to build the Tabernacle. "See", he says, "that you make everything on the pattern showed you on the mountain."

For after every commandment according to the law had been spoken by Moses to the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people.

Any one who set at naught the law of Moses was put to death without pity, on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw that he was a beautiful child, and they were not afraid of the king's decree.

By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,

and so terrible was the scene that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and tremble.
