Deuteronomy 33:1 This is the blessing that Moses the man of God pronounced on the Israelites before his death.
(Following Moses' farewell message to his people in which he admonished them for what he knew would be their future disobedience and rebellion against God, he now speaks a blessing over them because they are the people whom God Himself has chosen and called His Own. For the first time in the Bible, the Lord uses the phrase "man of God" in His reference to Moses, designating Him as His servant to make clear that what Moses has been given to say does not come from a mere man, but from one whom the Lord is using to speak prophetic blessings over His people. . The Name the Lord uses for Himself in this phrase is God Himself, Elohim, the Supreme and Mighty God, Even as He spoke through Moses, a man of God, God speaks to us and through us today, calling us man or woman of God whom He still uses to speak and live out His Word.)
