So the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend- Exodus 33:11.
The Lord spoke to Moses clearly face to face as a man speaks to his friend as Moses longed for God's presence and His glory. He was also very humble and faithful in God's house.
Moses longed for God's presence & glory
If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people.” The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?” And the Lord said to Moses, “I will do the very thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name.” Then Moses said, “Now show me your glory.” - Exodus 33:13-18.
Moses was very humble and faithful in God's house
Moses was a very humble man and he was more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth. Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all men who were on the face of the earth. Not so with My servant Moses; He is faithful in all My house - Numbers 12:3, 7. Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house,” bearing witness to what would be spoken by God in the future - Hebrews 3:5.
God spoke with Moses face to face clearly
The anger of the Lord was aroused against Miriam and Aaron when they spoke against Moses and God said that He speaks in dream with prophet but to Moses He speaks face to face and very clearly. When there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord, reveal myself to them in visions, I speak to them in dreams. But this is not true of my servant Moses; he is faithful in all my house. With him I speak face to face, clearly and not in riddles; he sees the form of the Lord. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?” The anger of the Lord burned against them, and he left them - Numbers 12:6-9.
