Person

Moses

The central human figure of the Pentateuch. He led Israel out of Egypt, mediated the Sinai covenant, and was the prophet "whom the LORD knew face to face" (Deut 34:10). The Torah / Mosaic Law is attributed to him. In Christian theological vocabulary "Moses" often stands in for the entire Old Covenant order, that is, the Law, its sacrificial system, and its priestly mediation, set against the New Covenant order Christ inaugurated.

Biblical role

Exodus mediator. He confronts Pharaoh, leads Israel through the Red Sea, and receives the Decalogue at Sinai (Exod 19-20). He ratifies the covenant by sprinkling sacrificial blood on altar and people (Exod 24:6-8), the foundational "blood of the covenant" act that Jesus later echoes at the Last Supper.
Lawgiver. He mediates the Mosaic Law (the Pentateuchal corpus), including moral, civil, and ceremonial commands, the sacrificial system, the tabernacle blueprint, and the Levitical priesthood.
Prophet par excellence. Deuteronomy 18:15 promises a "prophet like Moses." The New Testament reads that messianically as fulfilled in Christ (Acts 3:22, 7:37).
Type of Christ. Each of his roles, deliverer, mediator, prophet, intercessor, anticipates Christ in type. At the same time, each role is categorically inferior (Heb 3:1-6: "Moses was faithful as a servant... but Christ as a son").

Theological significance

Covenant mediator superseded. In the framework of Are Christians Still Under The Law (ris3n) and the broader Hebrews argument, Moses is the mediator of a real, God-given, temporary covenant. The covenant was temporary not because it failed but because it pointed forward (Gal 3:24-25 "the Law was our tutor to lead us to Christ"). Christ's mediation of the New Covenant fulfills the Mosaic mediation rather than abolishing it.
Glory that fades. 2 Corinthians 3 contrasts the glory of Moses' face (which faded) with the surpassing and lasting glory of the New Covenant ministry. Moses serves as the figure of the older glory.
Authority of Torah. Even traditions that hold the Mosaic Law no longer governs as a covenantal system (the ris3n source's position) typically retain Moses' Pentateuch as inspired Scripture and morally instructive. The debate is over governance, not canonicity.

Interpretive tensions

Continuation vs. supersession of the Mosaic Law. Reformed covenantal, Theonomist, and Hebrew Roots traditions retain more of the Mosaic order under the New Covenant than the supersessionist reading does. Moses as a figure is not contested. What is contested is the binding force of his Law. See Mosaic Law for the spread of positions.
Mosaic authorship of the Pentateuch. Critical scholarship (the documentary hypothesis and its successors) attributes the Pentateuch to multiple sources or redactors centuries after Moses. Confessional traditions defend substantial Mosaic authorship. The ris3n source does not engage this.
