Be Still So I Can Listen

Numbers 9:8 And Moses said to them, “Stand still, that I may hear what the LORD will command concerning you.” Does anyone else think it’s interesting that Moses told the men who had come to inquire about Passover to be still so he could hear from God?  The word for stand still here also means…
