And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;

Faithful In all his house - i:e., in all God's house (Hebrews 3:4).

Servant. Not here [ doulos (G1401)] 'slave,' but [ therapoon (G2324)] 'a ministering attendant:' free and spontaneous (John 8:36; John 15:15); marking Moses' high office toward God, though inferior to Christ. Christ was a servant (Philippians 2:7); but He was also the Son, Lord, and Heir of all things. Not so Moses. Christ's service was assumed for the economy of salvation; Moses' was so naturally. Moses' service could not exceed human bounds: Christ's ministry was unique, capable of being fulfilled by God the Son alone.

For a testimony ... - that he might, in his typical institutions give 'testimony' to Israel 'of the things' of the gospel 'which were to be spoken afterward' by Christ (Hebrews 8:5; Hebrews 9:8; Hebrews 9:23; Hebrews 10:1).
