Hoshea, who becomes Moses’ close associate, is renamed Joshua (Numbers 13:2–16). Jesus chose 12 apostles who will judge Israel’s 12 tribes. Simon, one of those closest to Jesus, was renamed Peter (Matthew 16:17–19; Mark 3:16–17). Moses prayed over the miracle of the manna and quails (Exodus 16:1; Numbers 11:31). Jesus performed the miracle of the loaves and fish twice (Matthew 14:13–21; 15:32–39). The dividing of the Red Sea took place under Moses’ command (Exodus 14:15–22).

A cloud overshadowed Peter, James, and John with Jesus, and the voice of God was heard (Matthew 17:1–5). Christ is the prophet that God promised, but he is greater than Moses (Hebrews 3:1–6).
