Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 34:4

Deuteronomy 34:4. I have caused thee to see it For though his sight was good, yet he could not have seen all Canaan, a hundred and sixty miles in length, and fifty or sixty in breadth, if his sight had not been miraculously assisted and enlarged, He saw it at a distance. Such a sight the Old Testament believers had of the kingdom of the Messiah. And such a sight believers have now of the glory that shall be revealed. Such a sight have we now, of the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, which... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 34:5

Deuteronomy 34:5. So Moses the servant of the Lord died He is called the servant of the Lord, not only as a good man, (all such are his servants,) but as a man eminently useful, who had served God’s counsels in bringing Israel out of Egypt, and leading them through the wilderness. And it was more his honour to be the servant of the Lord, than to be king in Jeshurun. Yet he dies. Neither his piety nor his usefulness could exempt him from the stroke of death. God’s servants must die, that... 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

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.

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

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 34:5

Ver. 5. So Moses, the servant of the Lord, died there— This is the highest character which can be given to any man, the servant of Jehovah; and it is given by God himself to Moses after his death, Joshua 2:7. It is a remark which naturally offers from these words, that since the most approved servants of God have died, death cannot be an absolute evil, or the God whom they served never would have permitted it to have befallen them. The sacred historian expresses particularly, that Moses died in... read more
