About the prophets

God's Revelation of various types were revealed to the prophets. Some prophets were honored with the gift of God's revelation only once in a lifetime and others several times. Above all prophets stands Moses, our lawgiver, the father and head of all the prophets. Moses had unrestricted access to God's revelations and was spoken to directly.

As the Holy Scriptures informs us about Moses - And He said: Hear now My words: if there be a prophet among you, I יהוה do make Myself known unto him in a vision, I do speak with him in a dream. My servant Moses is not so; he is trusted in all My house; with him do I speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of יהוה doth he behold; wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against My servant, against Moses? (4M 12:6-8)

Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men that were upon the face of the earth. (4M 12:3)

And there hath not arisen a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom יהוה knew face to face. (5M 34:10)

Moses was the most perfect, the most inspired by God, the ablest, the wisest and the most unassuming of the whole human race; for this reason he was honored with such an important mission, which was the liberation of People of Israel from Egypt and the obtaining of God's Law at Mount Sinai. All the laws that Moses wrote by the command of God were compiled into the Five books of Holy Scripture.

Moses was the son of Amram of the tribe of Lewi, his brother was Aaron and his sister Miriam, who were also honored with revelation, although the lower grade. Moses was 80 years old and Aaron 83 years old when they appeared in front of Pharaoh, Miriam was the oldest of the siblings.

The most important of God's Revelation's occurred on Mount Sinai, when the Israelites saw the cloud, the thunder and lightning also the bellowing sound of the trumpets. At that time God gave Moses the Ten Commandments עשרת הדברים , which serves as a foundation stone of all the laws that are contained in the Five books of Moses. As Holy Scripture says:

And יהוה came down upon Mount Sinai, to the top of the mount; and יהוה called Moses to the top of the mount; and Moses went up. (2M 19:20)

And God spoke all these words, saying. (2M 20:1)
