申命记 34:7 RCUVSS

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Deuteronomy 34:7

The promise, Thou shalt go down to the grave in a good old age, was remarkably fulfilled, in the instance of Moses. If the Reader will consult the genealogy of Moses he will discover, that his Maker, grandfather, and great grandfather, were all older when they died than himself. Amram his father was 137 years at his death. Kohath his grandfather 133, and Levi his great grandfather 137. See Exodus 6:16-20 . read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 34:7

Eye. Hebrew also, "colour." His sight and complexion were as good as in his youth, though he was 120 years old. --- Moved. The rays "of glory never changed," but attended him to the grave. (Chaldean) Hebrew, "his natural force (and vigour) never left him; or his cheeks did not fall in." (Calmet) --- The Roman Martyrology places the death of Moses on the 4th of September, though the Rabbins say he died in the 12th month. (Salien) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 34:5-8

5-8 Moses obeyed this command of God as willingly as any other, though it seemed harder. In this he resembled our Lord Jesus Christ. But he died in honour, in peace, and in the most easy manner; the Saviour died upon the disgraceful and torturing cross. Moses died very easily; he died "at the mouth of the Lord," according to the will of God. The servants of the Lord, when they have done all their other work, must die at last, and be willing to go home, whenever their Master sends for them, Acts... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Deuteronomy 34:1-9

Moses Dies and is Buried by God v. 1. And Moses went up from the Plains of Moab, where the children of Israel were still encamped, unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is, to its very summit, that is over against Jericho. Cf Deuteronomy 32:48-Colossians :. And the Lord showed him all the land of Gilead, on the eastern side of Jordan, unto Dan, a town in Northern Perea, v. 2. and all Naphtali, later the land of Galilee, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, in the... read more

DEATH AND BURIAL OF MOSESDeuteronomy 34:1-121And Moses went up from the plains [steppes] of Moab, unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho: and the Lord shewed him all the land of Gilead, unto Daniel , 2 And all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the utmost [hindermost] sea, 3And the south [south land, Negeb], and the plain [circuit] of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm-trees, unto Zoar. 4And the Lord said... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Deuteronomy 34:1-12

the Great Leader’s Exodus Deuteronomy 34:1-12 What inimitable beauty in this closing scene! The majestic withdrawal of the illustrious Lawgiver in view of the assembled nation! The panorama that greeted his undimmed gaze! The Lord’s showing of it to him! The kiss, according to the ancient tradition, in which his spirit passed rapturously to its reward! The burial of his body with proper honor, Jude 1:9 ! Well might the people weep! There is dispensational truth here also. Moses represented... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 34:1-12

Here in all likelihood we have the writing of another hand. The section contains the story of the death of Moses, the equipment of Joshua for his work, with a last tender reference to the great leader and lawgiver. The passing of Moses was full of beauty. As we have seen, his exclusion from the land towards which his face had so long been set was in fact a punishment. Yet how wonderfully it was tempered with mercy. His force had not weakened. Everything ended in full strength. He went up to... read more

James Nisbet

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 34:7

AN HUNDRED AND TWENTY YEARS OLD‘Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died.’ Deuteronomy 34:7 I. The story of the death of Moses is one of the most pathetic in the Bible.—A life that had been spent in the service of others, that had been extended far beyond man’s allotted span, was approaching its end, although, physically, he was as vigorous as ever. Moses had served his generation; he had brought the people to the very borders of the Land of Promise, but he himself was not... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 34:1-8

Chapter 34 The Death of Moses. The book closes with a record of the death of its main source. As has been mentioned previously Moses is unlikely to have recorded it himself. That would have been put into the hand of an experienced scribe. In so far as it is there the impression gathered throughout the Pentateuch is that that was probably Joshua. But what we do have are the words of Moses, with occasional background material put in by the scribe. Here in this final chapter the scribe completes... read more
