From the time that Moses comes on the scene, he is under attack: • When he breaks up a fight between Jews while still in Egypt, one turns to him and says, “Who made you a ruler and judge over us?” (Exodus 2:14). • When it appears to the people that Moses descends from Sinai a bit late, they rebel and build the golden calf (Exodus 32:1). • When Korach and his cohorts challenge Moses’s rule, the attacks culminate.
