What are the connotations of "be'Chol Beisi Ne'eman hu"?

Ramban (in Pasuk 6): It means that, as opposed to other prophets, who prophecy by means of dreams (which require interpretation), Moshe sees everything clearly and understands automatically everything that he sees.

2.

Rashbam: It means that Moshe is consistent - that he is flawless at any time of day. 1

3.

Hadar Zekenim (in Pasuk 6) #1: It means that everyone knows that he is reliable 2 since He speaks to him directly, and not be means of riddles.

4.

Moshav Zekenim and Hadar Zekenim (in Pasuk 6) #2: They maintained that Moshe should marry a woman with good lineage. Hashem replied that he married when he was a shepherd, and did not want to divorce her now that he was king, because he was loyal.

5.

Targum Yonasan: It means 'In all the house of Yisrael My people he is trustworthy'. 3

6.

Oznayim la'Torah: With reference to the Mishkan, it means that, as opposed to Aharon, who is permitted to enter the Kodesh, but not the Kodesh Kodshim, 4 Moshe may enter anywhere, even the Kodesh Kodashim, whenever he pleases. 5
