Hasidut untuk Kejadian 46:2

In the verse (Num. 12:7), "Not so with My servant Moses; he is regular [ne'eman] throughout My household." This is difficult -- the two clauses are inconsistent, for, with respect to the first clause, where is there mentioned any lack of regularity/faith [emunah] in other prophets? Actually, the idea is that all of the [other] prophets had to change when prophesying, by divesting themselves of materiality, and becoming like a new creation, as it is said, "When prophecy rested on them, their faces would glow like torches, etc." If so, prophecy does not attach to them intrinsically. But for Mosheh Rabbeinu, a"h, the opposite is true -- when he needed to speak with them [i.e., the people], a veil would be placed in front of his face, and he would have to alter his attire, while when the prophecy spoke through him, it would be from his actual appearance, as it is written (12:8), "with him I speak mouth to mouth." And this is what is called "regular" [ne'eman]. And thus, they [the other prophets] did not have to separate from their wives as did Moshe Rabbeinu, a"h, as it is said (Zohar), "Moshe Moshe [Exod. 3:4] has no break" [no p'sik; contrast Gen. 22:11, Gen. 46:2, and I Sam. 3:10], for the Moshe of the lower realm is the Moshe of the upper realm, "the man of God" (Deut. 33:1). But the other prophets were attached to their supernal source only at the time of prophesying.
