The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 34:1-12

The death and burial of Moses. We have in this concluding chapter the remarkable account of the death and burial of Moses. He had, as we have seen, blessed the tribes; he had laid his hands on Joshua (verse 9), and thus ordained him, so to speak, to the leadership; he had given his manuscripts to the priests to be deposited in the ark; and now all that remains for him to do is to take the course God indicated to the mountain-top, see the Promised Land, and die. It has suggested some noble... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 34:2-4

Unto the utmost sea ; rather, the hinder sea , viz. the Mediterranean (cf. Deuteronomy 11:24 ). The south ; the Negeb, the pasture-land in the south, towards the Arabian desert. The plain of the valley of Jericho ; the extensive plain through which the Jordan flows, extending from Jericho to Zoar, at the south end of the Dead Sea. This wide prospect could not be surveyed by any ordinary power of vision; so that Moses must for the occasion have had his power of vision miraculously... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 34:1

Dan - This can hardly be the Dan (Dan-Laish) of Judges 18:27 ff, which was not in Gilead. It is probably a town of this name which stood in the north of Peraea; perhaps the same as Dan-jaan, 2 Samuel 24:6; and the Dan of Genesis 14:14. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 34:1

Deuteronomy 34:1. Moses went up When he knew the place of his death, he cheerfully mounted the hill to come to it. Those who are well acquainted with another world, are not afraid to leave this. When God’s servants are sent for out of the world, the summons runs, “Go up and die!” From the plains of Moab In which was their last station before they entered into Canaan, Numbers 33:48. To the top of Pisgah Which appears to have been the highest top of these mountains. And from hence God... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 34:2-3

Deuteronomy 34:2-3. All Naphtali The land of Naphtali, which, together with Dan, was in the north of Canaan, as Ephraim and Manasseh were in the midland parts, and Judah on the south, and the sea on the west. So these parts, lying in the several quarters, are put for all the rest. He stood in the east, and saw also Gilead, which was in the eastern part of the land, and thence he saw the north, and south, and west. The utmost sea The midland sea, which was the utmost bound of the land of... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 34:1-12

Death of Moses (34:1-12)Before Moses died, God allowed him to climb to the peak (Pisgah) of Mount Nebo in the Abarim Range (near the Israelite camp on the plains of Moab) and view the full extent of the magnificent land his people were soon to possess (34:1-4).The editor responsible for this final chapter adds the note that the exact location of Moses’ grave was unknown (5-8). Joshua was the new leader, but neither he nor any who came after him had the unique experience of Moses, who met God... read more
