Moses Alone Knew the Ways of the Holy One

Midrash Tanchuma Buber, Shemot 9:1

(Exodus 3:1:) "Now Moses was tending the flock." This is what Scripture says (Psalms 103:7): "He made His ways known to Moses, etc." Why did He make His ways known to Moses? Because Moses knew all the ways of the Holy One, blessed be He, and no other person knew them. It is written (Exodus 33:13): "And now, etc., make Your ways known to me, please." The Holy One, blessed be He, said to him: It is upon His ways that you seek to stand? By your life, I shall make them known to you—(as it says,) "He made His ways known to Moses."
