However, we must listen to Abba and Imma. Now the man Moshe was exceedingly humble, more than any person on the face of the earth. These are the words that the Torah uses to describe Moshe Rabbeinu. The Shlah learns from this how truly great the trait of humility is. Moshe Rabbeinu was the finest of Hashem's created beings, the prince of the prophets, and yet of all of his superlative qualities, the one the Torah chooses to praise is his humility.
Jewish history is replete with tales of the humility of our great leaders.
One came to Hillel's house on Erev Shabbos while Hillel was bathing. Hillel came out of the bath, put on his robe, and went to the man. The man asked Hillel a silly question about why the heads of the Babylonians are round. The man then left, only to return in a short while when Hillel had returned to the bath. Again, he called Hillel out of the bath to ask him another trivial question.
