A strong biblical example of Law 16, "Use Absence to Increase Respect and Honor," is Moses. His strategic absences throughout the story of the Exodus provide a powerful illustration of how periods of withdrawal can enhance leadership respect and deepen the impact of one’s role.

Example: Moses’ Time on Mount Sinai

Moses frequently withdrew from the Israelites to meet with God, the most significant of these moments being when he ascended Mount Sinai to receive the Ten Commandments. His absence during these periods created a mixture of anticipation, awe, and even fear among the people, reinforcing his position as God’s chosen leader and mediator.

Main Scripture Reference: Exodus 24:18 (KJV): “And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and gat him up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.”
