God "called unto" Moses

God "called unto" Moses three times:
  1. Exodus 3:4 - in regards to work (deliverance)
    • God calls from a burning bush emphasizing His Sovereignty.
  2. Exodus 19:3 - in regards to walk (commandments)
    • God calls from the mountain emphasizing His Separation.
  3. Leviticus 1:1 - in regards to worship (offerings)
    • God calls from the tabernacle emphasizing His Sacrifice.

Meekness

But the man Moses was very meek, above all men that were upon the face of the earth. - Num 12:3

From this chapter alone we can learn from the three things Moses did as proof of his meekness:
1) In his writing, he does not hide but admits his mistake and weakness in taking a Cushite/Ethiopian woman as his second wife (vs 1-2).
2) He did not try to vindicate himself when questioned by his siblings but instead left it to God. God honoured that (vs 7-10).
3) He still prayed for his accusers (vs 13).
