Numbers 12:7

Verse 7. Faithful: Hebrew Neeman, steward or master of the palace. Such was Samuel, 1 Kennicott. 3:20; David, ( Calmet.) 1 Kennicott. 22:14; Naaman, the general of Syria, 2 Kennicott. 5.; and Bacchides, 1 Maccabees 7. Bible.—Ambassadors had this title, (Proverbs 13:17,) and fidelity often denotes an office. 1 Chronicles 9:22. Job (12:20,) speaks of the Namonim. Calmet.—But none among the Israelites was more justly entitled to this honour than Moses. He announced the word of God without any mixture of falsehood, and did not arrogate to himself more than his due, as Aaron seems to have done, verse 2. Bible.
