The bible is replete with withnesses we are called to emulate.For me, if I were to to take the old testament alone ,Moses stands out as a stellar leader....a bright star in the constellation of God's mighty servants.Chosen by God,meant to die as a child as per the pharoah's ruling,preserved by providence,trained in the royal household,a passionate man,lover of God's people,a stuttering ,hesistant leader....an advocate of God's people ,even before God Himself,mouthpiece of God,faithful till the end inspite of the set-backs......it was never about himself ,it was always about God...he stands tall....outperforming from the point of all the men and women who surround him ,but short of God's standard still.
There was only one who met the absolute standard of God without concession and that was 'Jesus Christ'.
How well Moses knew God.He was a friend of God.
At the end of his life ,no boasting of his sacrifices,accomplishments,wars he had won ,or the bad deal he gets in the end ,just an acknowledgement of who God is and absolute surrender to a mighty God actually recognising Him for who He is.
We see pouring out of God's grace on this mighty man of God till the end.
