Moshe Rabeinu - Chacham

The Gemara in Nedarim 38A states:

אמר ר׳ יוחנן אלא על גבור ועשיר וחכם ועניו וכולן ממשח ו ותחסרהו מעט מאלתים עניו אתת שנאמר

The Shechina can only reside within somebody who is Strong, Rich, Humble, and a Chacham, and all of them are learnt from Moshe Rabeinu. How do we know that Moshe was a Chacham? the Gemara asks; the Gemara brings a Pasuk "Vatechasrehu Meat M'e'elokim that Moshe reached, so to speak, forty nine levels of Bina, was almost like Elokim and would have been had he reached the fiftieth level.

Why do we need a Pasuk to tell us that Moshe was a Chacham? Moshe was "Raban Shel Kal Yisrael" the teacher of all Israel of course he must have been a Chacham? As the Briskers would say; I guess we see from this Gemarah that someone can become "Raban Shel Kal Yisrael" and still NOT be a Chacham. Ad Kan!
