Midrash su Salmi 18:16
וַיֵּ֤רָא֨וּ ׀ אֲפִ֥יקֵי מַ֗יִם וַֽיִּגָּלוּ֮ מוֹסְד֪וֹת תֵּ֫בֵ֥ל מִגַּעֲרָ֣תְךָ֣ יְהוָ֑ה מִ֝נִּשְׁמַ֗ת ר֣וּחַ אַפֶּֽךָ׃
E apparvero i canali delle acque e le basi del mondo furono messe a nudo, al Tuo rimprovero, o Eterno, allo scoppio del soffio delle Tue narici.
Pirkei DeRabbi Eliezer
Whence do we know about Moses? Because it is said, "And the Lord said, My spirit shall not abide in man for ever in their going astray" (Gen. 6:3). What is the implication (of the expression), "In their going astray"? Retrospectively his name was called Moses. For the life of Moses was one hundred and twenty years, as it is said, "His days shall be an hundred and twenty years" (ibid.).
