Moses Unchanged by Prophecy and the Word Spoken to Him Alone

Another interpretation: "Moses, Moses" - he was the same Moses before he was spoken with and the same Moses after he was spoken with. "To him" - to exclude Aaron. Rabbi Judah son of Bathyra said: thirteen utterances were stated in the Torah to Moses and to Aaron, and corresponding to them thirteen exclusions were stated, to teach you that it was not to Aaron that the word was spoken but to Moses, that he should tell Aaron. And these are they: "And when Moses went into the Tent of Meeting to speak with Him" (Numbers 7:89), "and he heard the voice speaking to him," and "He spoke to him"; "And there I will meet with you, and I will speak with you" (Exodus 25:22); "where I will meet with you" (Exodus 30:6); "to speak to you there" (Exodus 29:42); "that which is commanded" (Exodus 34:34); "all that I shall command you" (Exodus 34:34); "And it came to pass on the day when the LORD spoke to Moses" (Exodus 6:28); "And these are the generations of Aaron and Moses on the day when the LORD spoke with Moses" (Numbers 3:1). "And He called to Moses and the LORD spoke to him" - it excluded Aaron from all of them.
