MOSES
-
By Nebo's lonely mountain,
On this side Jordan's wave,
In a vale in the land of Moab,
There lies a lonely grave;
But no man built that sepulcher,
And no man saw it e'er,
For the angels of God upturned the sod
And laid the dead man there.—C. F. ALEXANDER, The Burial of Moses
-
Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.—Bible, Numbers 12:3
-
And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Beth-peor: but no man knoweth of his sepulcher unto this day.—Bible, Deuteronomy 34:6
-
Without doubt it must have been a tremendous father image that stooped in the person of Moses to tell the poor Jewish laborers that they were his dear children . . . Probably they did not find it easy to separate the image of the man Moses from that of his God, and their instinct was right in this, since Moses might very well have incorporated into the character of his God some of his own traits, such as his irascibility and implacability.—SIGMUND FREUD, Moses and Monotheism
-
And since we know that behind the God who chose the Jews and
delivered them from Egypt stood the man Moses who achieved that deed, ostensibly at God's command, we venture to say this: it was one man, the man Moses, who created the Jews.—SIGMUND FREUD, Moses and Monotheism
