Why the Elders' Prophecy Did Not Diminish Moses

And if you should say: since the prophecy of the elders was from that of Moses, perhaps it diminished something of his prophecy — no. To what was Moses comparable? To a lamp that was burning, from which all kindle their own lamps, yet its light lacks nothing at all. So too Moses: even though the prophets took from his prophecy, the prophecy of Moses lacked nothing at all, [as it is said] (Deuteronomy 34:10): "And there never again arose in Israel a prophet like Moses."
