Question: And in Exodus we learn that "the Lord would speak to Moses, face to face, as one speaks to a friend" (Exodus 33:22). God also said of Moses, "I am pleased with you and I know you by name" (Exodus 33:17). How did God and Moses get so close?
Moses' life was remarkable by its Divinely inspired preparation for the huge task of releasing God’s people from Egypt!
To that end, he was raised in Pharaoh’s household and was inculcated in the ways of royalty in Egypt, all of which gave him inside knowledge that he needed for his future task.
He did not meet God until the “burning bush” incident, after which he had to become “ceremonially correct”, and his sons circumcised, before the task God had for him began.
Because of Moses' background and his willing heart, he became a “friend” of God; a designation of incredible high honour!
