Midrash for Rosh Hashanah 50:1
ואומר (תהלים צט, ו) משה ואהרן בכהניו ושמואל בקוראי שמו שקל הכתוב שלשה קלי עולם כשלשה חמורי עולם
It says also: Moses and Aaron among his priests and Samuel among them that call on his name.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Ps. XCIX, 6. This shows that Samuel is on a par with Moses and Aaron.');"><sup>1</sup></span> [We see therefore that] the Scripture places three of the most questionable characters<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lit., 'light ones of the world'.');"><sup>2</sup></span>
Sifrei Devarim
Variantly: Do not say (I must have a judge) like Moses and Aaron, but (go to) "the judge that shall be in those days." As it is written (Koheleth 7:10) "Do not say: 'What has happened that the earlier days were better than these?' For it is not from wisdom that you ask this."
