KJV Colossians 2:16-18

16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. 18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

The regulations mentioned above were given to Moses at Mount Sinai which somehow Paul restates to the church at Colosse

  1. Concerning food
    KJV Leviticus 11:4

    Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.

  2. Concerning Sabbaths
    KJV Leviticus 26:2

    Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.

  3. Concerning drinking
    KJV Numbers 6:3

    He shall separate himself from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried.

  4. Concerning Holy days
    KJV Numbers 28:11

    And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, seven lambs of the first year without spot;

Paul further reiterates that these regulations were given through Angels to a mediator

KJV Galatians 3:19

Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

As much as Paul was rebuking the church at Colosse was he also referring to Moses as an Angel worshipper?

Was Paul tacitly referring to Moses in the above text?
