while the rest of the prophets prophesied through the "opaque lens" ["Aspaklaria
D'eina Meira"].

Kabbalah teaches that even the Patriarchs' connection to G-d wasn't on Moses' level.
G‑d spoke to Moses, and said, "I am Havayah. But I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as 'G‑d Almighty', and did not make known to them My Name Havayah."
The Patriarchs achieved only a superficial consciousness of G‑d for they perceived G‑d only as He is revealed in the world, whereas Moses could perceive G‑d as He is revealed in the Torah. |
