Deuteronomy 34:5 - The Pulpit Commentary - Bible Study & Commentary

Deuteronomy 34:5 - Death, Burial, And Encomium Of Moses.

According to the word of the Lord ; literally, at the mouth of the Lord . The rabbins interpret this, "by a kiss of the Lord"; i . e . as Maimonides explains it ('More Nevoch.,' 3:51), Moses "died in a moment of holiest joy in the knowledge and love of God." The phrase, however, simply means "by or according to the command of" (cf. Genesis 45:21 ; Exodus 17:1 ; Le Exodus 24:12 ; Numbers 3:16 , etc.).
