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

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 34:1-3

Ver. 1-3. And Moses went up from the plains of Moab, &c.— As soon as he had taken this solemn leave of his nation, Moses, according to the divine appointment, ch. Deu 32:49 retired privately to the top of mount Nebo called Pisgah, from whence God enabled him to take a distinct and particular prospect of the land of Canaan. The mention of Dan in the first verse, and the account of Moses's death and burial, and of some particulars which happened after he had left the world, from the fifth... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 34:1-12

E. Moses’ death and burial: narrative epilogue ch. 34"A testament is of force only after the death of the testator [cf. Hebrews 9:16-17]. So the Deuteronomic Covenant in its testamentary aspect . . . would not become operative until after the death of Moses. Only then would Joshua succeed to the role of vicegerent of God over Israel, and only then under the leadership of Joshua could the tribes, according to the declarations of the Lord, enter into their inheritance in Canaan. It was,... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 34:1-12

The Death of MosesIn obedience to the divine command (Deuteronomy 32:48-52) Moses ascends to the top of Mt. Nebo, whence he views the Land of Promise. Thereafter he dies and God buries him. No man knows of his sepulcher.1-4. Dan is used to indicate the extreme N., as in the phrase ’from Dan to Beersheba,’ though it was not till the time of the Judges that the Danites settled in that district: see Judges 18:28, Judges 18:29. The utmost sea (lit. ’hinder, i.e. western, sea’: see on Deuteronomy... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Deuteronomy 34:1-2

XXXIV.DEATH OF MOSES.(1) Pisgah.—See Numbers 21:20. The word seems to mean a height.(1, 2) The Lord shewed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan, and all Naphtali . . . unto the utmost sea—that is, He showed him all the land which was to be given to these several tribes. Whether He then showed it to him under the names which are given here or not is a question we cannot answer. Many deeply interesting queries suggest themselves here. Did Moses go up alone? or did Joshua accompany him? Who wrote... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Deuteronomy 34:1-12

The Death of Moses Deuteronomy 34:1-12 'Unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah' (v. 1). There were other Old Testament death-scenes transacted on the mountains. It was on Mount Gilboa that Saul leaned upon his spear and slew himself. And it was on the summit of Hor that Aaron died. It was near the top of Pisgah that Balaam said, 'Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his'. Compare these two. Very near the place where Balaam was Moses died. Yet what a... read more
