How do we know Moses was a great leader in the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Moses is recognized as a great leader because of his unique role as mediator of the old covenant and a figure of faith.

Moses stands as a monumental figure in biblical history, characterized as a prophet, priest, and king, effectively combining these roles as he mediated the covenant between God and Israel. His leadership is evidenced in his faith-driven decisions, as reflected in his choices to align with God's people rather than with the comforts of the Egyptian palace. He is described in Exodus 2-3 as being chosen by God to lead the Israelites out of bondage, demonstrating qualities of humility and courage. Further, Hebrews 11:24-26 emphasizes that by faith, Moses refused to be identified as Pharaoh's daughter’s son, instead choosing to suffer affliction with the people of God. His legacy as a leader transcends his immediate context, positioning him as a type for Christ.
