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

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Deuteronomy 34:4

(4) This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it.—“That thou mayest go and say to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, The oath which He sware to you, the Holy One, blessed be He! hath performed it,” is Raehi’s comment. But in Paradise they scarcely needed Moses to tell them of His faithfulness. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Deuteronomy 34:5

(5) So (better, and) Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the Lord.—Literally, upon the mouth of the Lord, and hence the Jewish interpretation that he died by a kiss! But the language of the sacred narrative is too simple to need even this interpretation. For many years it had been the habit of Moses to do everything “at the mouth of the Lord.” Only one fatal mistake mars the record of obedience. It was but one last act of obedience to lie down... read more

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

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 34:1-12

MOSES’ CHARACTER AND DEATHIT has been often said, and it has even become a principle of the critical school, that the historical notices in the earlier documents of the Old Testament represent nothing but the ideas current at the time when they were written. Whether they depict an Abraham, a Jacob, or a Moses, all they really tell us is the kind of character which at such times was held to be heroic. In this way the value of the historic parts of Deuteronomy has been called in question, and we... read more

4. The Death of Moses CHAPTER 34 1. The death and burial of Moses (Deuteronomy 34:1-7 ) 2. The mourning of the people (Deuteronomy 34:8 ) 3. The conclusion of the book (Deuteronomy 34:9-12 ) This chapter was not written by Moses, but is an addition by another chosen instrument. The home-going of this great man of God is beyond description. What a scene it must have been when he ascended Nebo to the top of Pisgah! And the Lord met him there and showed him the land and said: “This is the... read more
