Now it happened after the death of Moses the servant of Yahweh, that Yahweh spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,
"The servant of Jehovah  ..." This was, above all other designations, the title of Moses  (Deuteronomy 34:5), and it was carried over into the New Dispensation by the author of Hebrews.  "Moses was indeed faithful over all his (God's) house as a servant"  (Hebrews 3:5).  The meaning of the term "servant" is very close to that of "slave," but it was the accepted designation of the highest plenary officers of kings and rulers of the world.  Christ himself was prophetically presented in Isaiah as the "Suffering Servant" of God, and Jesus stated that the greatest in God's kingdom would be the servant of all  (Matthew 23:11).
