Hebrews 3:5 Context
3For this man was counted worthy of more glory then Moses, in as much as he who hath builded the house, hath more honour then the house. 4For euery house is builded by some man, but hee that built all things is God. 5And Moses verely was faithfull in all his house as a seruant, for a testimonie of those things which were to be spoken after. 6But Christ as a Sonne ouer his owne house, whose house are wee, if we hold fast the confidence, and the reioycing of the hope firme vnto the end. 7Wherfore as the holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will heare his voyce,

People's Bible Notes for Hebrews 3:5
Heb 3:5 Moses verily [was] faithful in all his house. See Nu 12:7. As a servant. Not as the builder, or as the master, but as a waiting man in the house. For a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after. The whole ministry of Moses was a "testimony" to what would follow after, a shadow of what was to come. This will be brought out more fully in subsequent chapters.
