Torah Temimah points to Berachos 7a, where Chazal connect Moshe's concealment of his face at the burning bush with Hashem's later response when Moshe asks to see His glory.
Sefaria — Exodus 3:6
Sefaria — Berachos 7a
E-Daf — Berachos 7a
English: Chazal explain that when Moshe was first offered the opportunity to behold God’s glory at the burning bush, he did not seek to gaze; later, when he asked to see God’s glory, that earlier restraint was answered by a refusal.
In context: Berachos 7a then emphasizes that Moshe’s fear and restraint were themselves meritorious: because he feared, others later feared approaching him; because he refrained from looking, he was later granted a higher degree of prophetic vision.
Midrashic interpretation linking Moshe’s restraint at the burning bush with his later prophetic experience.
Reverent restraint in the presence of the Divine is treated by Chazal as spiritually consequential. The page’s lesson is therefore about yirah and disciplined restraint, not about the equality of the patriarchs.
