21 Iyar

The Midrash Rabah on Vayikra 37,2 explains that Moshe's reward for going out to the people working in Mitzraim who were doing jobs that were unsuitable for them (men doing womans work, old people doing young people's work, and vice versa) and giving them jobs that were suitable for them, is that he gets to explain Erchin (about when people decide to donate someone's value) to the Jews. Why is that a fitting reward above anything else? Isn't that kind of random? Also doesn't Moshe teach the whole Torah, so why wouldn't he have taught this too?
