"Moses' outstanding ability and heroic mind are evident in that he submitted to so many annoyances, endured so many troubles, and, unbeaten by weariness, every day undertook new labors.
The greatness of his spirit can never be praised enough.
He spent himself freely for a depraved and perverse people; and he did not desist from his purpose although he saw no gratitude for his kindness...Surely, he possessed many virtues, worthy of the highest praise."
John Calvin (from his commentary on Exodus)
