Tzror HaMor on Torah

... And how did [Moshe] say, "I said to you, 'Have no dread or fear of them.'" As we did not find that Moshe said something like this or something similar to it. Rather he was quiet and fell on his face... And perhaps we can say that since Yehoshua and Kalev, his students, said to [the people] (Numbers 14:9, "Only you must not rebel against the LORD. Have no fear then of the people of the country, for they are our prey: their protection has departed from them, but the LORD is with us. Have no fear of them" - Moshe considered these words as if he said them himself.

Yalkut Shimoni on Torah

... Said R' Levi: The Holy One Blessed Be He appeared to them like a picture which is visible form all angles. A thousand people may gaze on it and it gazes on all of them. So is the Holy One Blesses Be He. When He spoke, every individual Yisrael maintained: "He spoke to me!" "I am Hashem your (plural) G-d" is not written here, rather " I am Hashem your (singular) G-d". Said R' Yosi: In accordance with each and everyone's personal capacities did the word speak to him. Do not be astonished at the Manna which came down on Yisrael - each one tasting the flavour that he was capable of tasting - the infants in accordance with their capacities... the young men in accordance with their capacities... and the old in accordance with their capacities. If that was so in the case of the Manna, that everyone tasted the flavour that he could appreciate, the word (the word of Hashem at the receiving of the Torah), all the more so! Said (King) David (Psalm 29:4): " The Voice of Hashem is in strength". It does not say "In HIS strength", but just strength - in the strength (capacities) of each man.
