In Psalm 103 verse 7 we read that Yahweh God made known His ways to Moses and His acts to the children of Israel. (my italics) The word for ways in Hebrew is "derek" which has to do with treading a bow in order to string it. If we carry the analogy of a bow a little further we might think of the acts or deeds of Yahweh as the arrows shot from or springing and proceeding from the bow. Acts or "deeds" is the Hebrew word "aliylah" which also carries the meaning of exploit or performance or, by extension, opportunity. So Moses was learning the ways of God in the sense that he was learning the invisible why's and the how's behind the visible acts of God that the children of Israel were observing, witnessing and experiencing. To many of the children of Israel those acts may have seemed isolated or unrelated or even inexplicable in their immediate impact. But Moses was learning the patterns and divine rationale and heart behind those acts, because, after all, this was the same God who spoke to Moses face to face as to a friend (Exodus 33, v.11) and who would later say through Isaiah, foreshadowing the time of the sacrifice of Christ, "Come let us reason together, though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be white as snow.' (Isaiah 1, v.18)
