The words "They looked after Moses" are differently interpreted. According to one opinion the people praised Moses, saying: "Hail to the mother who has borne him; all the days of his life God speaks with him; and he is dedicated to the service of God." According to another opinion they reproached and reviled him: they accused him of committing adultery with another man's wife; and every man became jealous and forbade his wife to speak to Moses. They said: "See how fat and strong he has grown; he eats and drinks what belongs to the Jews, and everything that he has is taken from the people. Shall a man who has managed the building of the Tabernacle not become rich?". Yet Moses was the most conscientious of superintendents, and although he had been given sole charge of the work, he always caused his accounts to be examined by others. He was always among the workmen, showing them how to do the work. When everything was prepared Moses set up the Tabernacle alone. He fastened the ceiling of the tent over it, as he was the only one able to do so, being ten ells tall. During the seven days of the dedication he took the Tabernacle apart every day and set it up again without any help. When all was completed he gave a detailed account of the various expenses. During the seven days of the dedication, or (according to another account) during the forty years of the wandering in the desert, Moses officiated as high priest. He was also king during this entire period. When he demanded these two offices for his descendants God told him that the office of king was destined for David and his house, while the office of high priest was reserved for Aaron and his descendants. Whenever the cup is handed to Moses during the banquet of the pious in the other world, that he may say grace over the meal, he declares: "I am not worthy to say grace, as I have not deserved to enter the land of Israel". The fact that Moses, the foremost leader of Israel, who ceaselessly prayed for it and partook of its sorrows, and on whose account the manna was showered down from heaven and the protecting clouds and the marvelous well returned after the death of Aaron and Miriam, should not be allowed to share in Israel's joys and enter the promised land, was a problem that puzzled the aggadah, for which it tried to find various explanations. Moses was anxious to enter the promised land solely because many of the commandments given by God could be observed only there, and he was desirous of fulfilling all the commandments.
