“Moshe sent them to spy out the land of Canaan.” (13:17)

Yehoshua also sent spies to spy out the land prior to conquering it. He had no problem with his spies. In contrast, when Moshe Rabbeinu, his rebbe, sent twelve distinguished leaders of the Jewish nation, a terrible calamity resulted. The impact of this calamity affected the entire Jewish nation.

Doleh U’mashkeh cites the pasuk in Devarim (1:22): “Vatikrevun eilai kulchem”, “And you all came close to me,” when the people requested spies.

“Not so is My servant Moshe; in My entire house he is trusted.” (12:7)

The Torah emphasizes the fact that Moshe Rabbeinu’s nevuah, prophesy, is unlike that of other prophets, such as, Aharon and Miriam. Once Horav Simcha Zelig Reiger, z.l., the Av Bais Din of Brisk asked Horav Chaim Soloveitchik, z.l., the significance of the term, “b’chol baisi neeman hu,” “in My entire house he is trusted,” in regard to Moshe’s level of prophesy.
