Exegesis
The emphasis particle akh {אַךְ־ | ʾăḥ} reinforces this limitation.
The construct bemosheh {בְּמֹשֶׁה | bə-mō-šê} ‘through Moses’ positions him as the mediator of divine revelation.
In context — Numbers 12:2
And they said, “Has the LORD spoken only through Moses ? Has He not also spoken through us?” And the LORD heard it.
