When the Hebrews were brought into scenes of danger, or where their appetite was restricted, instead of trusting in God, who had done wondrous things for them, they murmured against Moses. The Son of God, although invisible to the congregation, was the leader of the Israelites. His presence went before them and conducted all their travels, while Moses was their visible leader, receiving his directions from the Angel, who was Christ. {3T 339.2}

Da Hebræerne kom ind i farernes drama, eller hvor deres appetit blev begrænset, knurrede de imod Moses, i stedet for at stole på Gud, som havde gjort vidunderlige ting for dem. Guds søn var, selvom han var usynlig for menigheden, istraelitternes leder. Hans tilstedeværelse gik foran dem og ledte alle deres rejser, medens Moses var deres synlige leder, der fik sine anvisninger for den Engel, som var Kristus.
