Literally, “at the mouth of Jehovah” (see Num. 27:12-14).

 See Joshua 1:2, 7, where Jehovah calls Moses His servant. The apostle Paul says Moses “was faithful in all his house, as a servant” (Heb. 3:5). The word translated “servant” in the book of Hebrews is therapon. Our English words therapeutics, therapy, are derived from it. The term denotes sympathetic, faithful ministry, as of a physician at the bedside of a sick person. The untiring, loving, and tender solicitude of Moses for his people is placed on record to his credit and to the glory of God. It is interesting to note that the modern Greek word for “physician” is therapon.
