Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 34:9-12

We have here a very honourable encomium passed both on Moses and Joshua; each has his praise, and should have. It is ungrateful so to magnify our living friends as to forget the merits of those that are gone, to whose memories there is a debt of honour due: all the respect must not be paid to the rising sun; and, on the other hand, it is unjust so to cry up the merits of those that are gone as to despise the benefit we have in those that survive and succeed them. Let God be glorified in both,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 34:9

And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom ,.... The successor of Moses, and who, by the spirit of wisdom on him, was abundantly qualified for the government of the people of Israel; in which he was a type of Christ, on whom the spirit of wisdom and understanding is said to rest, Isaiah 11:2 , for Moses had laid his hands upon him ; which was a symbol of the government being committed to him, and devolving upon him after his death, and expressive of prayer for him, that... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 34:10

And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses ,.... Not in the times of Joshua, who wrote this chapter, at least the last eight verses, Deuteronomy 34:5 , as say the Jews F16 T. Bab. Bava Bathra, fol. 15. 1. ; nor to the times of Samuel, whom others take to be the writer: of them; nor to the times of Ezra, as others; nor even throughout the whole Old Testament dispensation to the times of Christ, the great Prophet, like to Moses, that was to arise; and the Messiah is... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 34:11

In all the signs and the wonders which the Lord sent him to do ,.... The same Targums also paraphrase here,"which the Word of the Lord sent him to do;'for he it was that appeared to him in the bush, and sent him to Egypt to work miracles, which he did by him: in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land ; to whom they were visible, and who were all affected by them more or less: this respects chiefly the ten plagues inflicted on the Egyptians: the Jews... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 34:12

And in all that mighty hand ,.... In all done by his hand, which he stretched out over the sea and divided, to make a passage through it for the Israelites, and with his rod in it smote the rocks, and waters gushed out for them: and in all that great terror which Moses showed in the sight of all Israel ; meaning either the terror the Egyptians were struck with by him, in the sight of all Israel, when he publicly and before them wrought the wonders he did in the land of Ham, which often... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 34:10

There arose not a prophet, etc. - Among all the succeeding prophets none was found so eminent in all respects nor so highly privileged as Moses; with him God spoke face to face - admitted him to the closest familiarity and greatest friendship with himself. Now all this continued true till the advent of Jesus Christ, of whom Moses said, "A Prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you from among your brethren, like unto me;" but how great was this person when compared with Moses! Moses... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 34:9

Verse 9 9.And Joshua the son of Nun. It is again shown how perseveringly God provided for the welfare of the people. We have already seen how, at the request of Moses, Joshua was chosen to succeed him. Now, when he is about to take upon him his office, “thespirit of wisdom” was imparted to him, that it might be effectually manifested that he was appointed by God. He had been, indeed, previously endowed with excellent gifts, but he was now much more splendidly adorned with the ensigns of... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 34:10

Verse 10 10And there arose not a prophet. This eulogy seems to have been added, that the children of Abraham might place dependence on Moses until the manifestation of Christ; for although prophets were from time to time raised up, still it was fitting that the superiority should remain with Moses, lest they should decline in the smallest degree from the rule of the Law. It must be concluded, therefore, that Moses was here placed in a position of supremacy, so as to be superior to all the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 34:1-9

The last journey. (For other aspects of the death of Moses, see Homily on Deuteronomy 32:48-52 .) We have come at last to the closing scene. It is evidently recorded by other hands; for "Dan" ( Deuteronomy 34:2 ) did not exist by that name till a much later period (see Judy. Deuteronomy 18:1 , 27-29). Deuteronomy 34:10-12 indicate, moreover, a period later still; very possibly, it may have been as far on as the time of Ezra when those verses were added. And whoever will make use of... read more
