Deuteronomy 34 · Grade 4
The End of Moses' Journey
Read and Think
Deuteronomy ends with Moses on Mount Nebo. God showed him the whole land promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Moses could see it but not enter, because of his sin at Meribah. Yet God Himself showed him the land, a tender kindness.
Moses died as the servant of Yahweh, and God buried him in an unknown grave. At 120 his eye was not dim and his strength was not gone. Israel mourned thirty days. Centuries later Moses appeared with Jesus at the transfiguration (Luke 9:30-31).
Joshua, full of the spirit of wisdom, took up the leadership. The book closes by saying no prophet arose like Moses, whom God knew face to face. Yet Moses had promised a prophet like him (18:15). Christians believe Jesus is that greater Prophet (Acts 3:22).
