Moses is the old man. Moses died, but he left a table (The Torah is often referred to as "The Ready Table". "Made of nails and pride" rules and laws on life. "The legs were made with his hands", he wrote it all with his own hand. "...and the top made of oaken wood", a very hard wood. "...for my children", the "Children of Israel". Every Shabbos the "children" gather around the Torah and laugh and sing, "...and that was good". "The old man died and no one cried," No one said Kaddish for Moshe. "He surely died alone," Moshe died alone. "And the truth is sad, for not a child would claim the gift he had," most of the children of Israel claimed the gift of Torah, and no child of Moshe's became a leader of Israel.
