Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Deuteronomy 31:14

Deuteronomy 31:14-23. JOSHUA IS APPOINTED BY JEHOVAH TO MOSES’ PLACE.(14) Thy days approach that thou must die: call Joshua, and present yourselves.—What Moses had already done before Israel (Deuteronomy 31:1-8) is now ratified by Jehovah to Joshua and Moses.Moses and Joshua went.—We may compare this scene with that which is described in Numbers 20:25-28, when Aaron and Eleazar went up to Mount Hor, in order that the priesthood might be transferred from one to the other. Elijah and Elisha, in... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Deuteronomy 31:1-30

Deuteronomy 31:23 Moses, in God's name, did counsel Joshua, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I sware unto them. God immediately did command him (Joshua 1:6 ), Be strong and of a good courage; and again (v. 7), Only be thou strong and very courageous; and again (v. 9), Have I not commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage. Lastly, the Reubenites and Gadites heartily desired him (v. 18), Only be strong and of a good... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 31:1-30

MOSES GIVING WAY TO JOSHUA (vs.1-8) Having finished his exposition of the law, Moses looks on to the future, so that the subject to the end of Deuteronomy is prophetic. Moses begins by announcing that he is 120 years of age, and no longer fitted for the work he has done for years (vs.1-2). Besides this, God had told him he would not cross over Jordan. Yet Israel did not depend on Moses, but on God, who would pass over before them. He would destroy the nations from the land, and Israel would... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 31:1-30

THE CLOSE OF MOSES ’ LIFE ENCOURAGEMENT (Deuteronomy 31:1-8 ) The law has been rehearsed and Moses’ exhortation is drawing to a conclusion. Several days may have been occupied in the review covered by Deuteronomy thus far. And now, Israel, by its leaders, having been gathered together at the place of meeting, Moses is apprising them of his imminent departure. Though advanced in years (Deuteronomy 31:2 ), was he conscious of mental or physical decay (Deuteronomy 34:7 )? Can you perceive a... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Deuteronomy 31:1-30

The Last Song Deuteronomy 31-32 The old man whom we have known so long dies singing. All men should die so; all men may so die: God is not sparing in his gift of song or privilege of music: music was in his purpose long before speech: all things are to end in a great song. What speeches may be delivered on high we cannot tell: few if any have been reported even by dreamers and seers; but they have all told us of the singing that characterises life in the upper spaces: they quote the very... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Deuteronomy 31:14

Nearing the End Deu 31:14 There is no day fixed: it is an "approach" that is spoken of. The word may, therefore, be addressed to every man well-advanced in life. There is a period at which the road becomes a slope downwards, and at the foot of the hill is the last earthly resting-place. This is the way of God. He tells them that the end is "approaching." Now and again he seems to cut them off suddenly as with an unexpected stroke; yet perhaps the suddenness is in appearance rather than in... read more

Moses is again admonished of his death. Reader! it is a blessed thing, to be as the Apostle, who died daily. Is it your case? How stands your heart affected to death! If in JESUS, surely you know somewhat of this spirit. 1 Corinthians 15:31 . read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 31:14-22

14-22 Moses and Joshua attended the Divine Majesty at the door of the tabernacle. Moses is told again that he must shortly die; even those who are most ready and willing to die, need to be often reminded of its coming. The Lord tells Moses, that, after his death, the covenant he had taken so much pains to make between Israel and their God, would certainly be broken. Israel would forsake Him; then God would forsake Israel. Justly does he cast those off who so unjustly cast him off. Moses is... read more
