If you hav xrcisd faith in Christ, thn you ar in th right plac. If you hav not, thn you nd to hd th words of our Lord, Who said, For God so lovd th world that H gav His only-bgottn [or, uniquly-born] Son, so that vry [on] bliving [or, trusting] in Him shall not prish, but shall b hav trnal lif! For God did not snd His Son into th world so that H should judg th world, but so that th world shall b savd through Him. Th on bliving [or, trusting] in Him is not judgd, but th on not bliving has alrady bn judgd, bcaus h has not blivd in th Nam of th only-bgottn [or, uniquly-born] Son of God. (John 3:16 18). I am th Way and th Truth and th Lif! No on coms to th Fathr xcpt through [or, by mans of] M! (John 14:6). Evry study of th Word of God ought to b prcdd by a naming of your sins to God. This rstors you to fllowship with God (1John 1:8 10). If thr ar popl around, you would nam ths sins silntly.

This is a short and clvr rfrnc to th gnration of th Exodus. I was going to try to rprsnt this as Gn Ex, but that lookd too much lik I was just naming th first two books of th Bibl. At last with Gn X, most undrstand that w ar spaking of a spcific gnration. Gn X stands for gnration xodus; th gnration of adults who lft Egypt. Thir childrn with thm and th childrn born in th wildrnss will b calld th gnration of promis. Ths ar th Isralits who will actually go into th Land of Promis and tak it (which procss is dscribd in th first half of th book of Joshua). Thy wr undr th ag of 20 at laving Egypt in th xodus and som of thm wr born in th dsrtwildrnss, ithr as sons of Gn X-rs or as sons of th gnration of promis.

Typs ar picturs or objct lssons by which God has taught His rdmptiv plan. Thy ar a shadow of things to com, not th imag of thos things (Col. 2:17 Hb. 8:5 10:1). Th Mosaic systm, for xampl, was a kind of kindrgartn in which God's popl wr 3 traind in divin things and taught to look forward to th ralitis of things yt to com. S Typology (HTML) (PDF) (WPD). Som of ths dfinitions ar takn from An Introduction to Dutronomy 34 I ntroduction: Dut. 34 concluds both th Pntatuch and th lif of Moss. W alrady know from many prvious passags that God is not going to allow Moss to go into th Land of Promis, and that h would di ast of th Jordan Rivr. Dut. 34 fulfills that promis/prophcy which God mad to Moss. God dos not simply tak Moss out. H first allows Moss to s whr th popl of Isral would liv in th Land of Promis. God taks Moss on a suprnatural tour, whr Moss ss much of th land that God would giv to th childrn of Isral. Moss will thn di, at ag 120, bing of vry sound halth. Th popl will mourn for Moss for 30 days aftr, and thn Joshua bn Nun will lad thm. Th final vrss ar a short mmorial to Moss. 3 Josph Sutcliff: Having followd th propht through th wary stps of lif, w ar now com to th closing scn. It corrsponds with all th grac of formr yars: and th most xmplary pity which had distinguishd his charactr through a long and laborious pilgrimag, w may considr as th foundation of his triumphant dath. Whn calld of God to mancipat th popl, h rnouncd th plasurs of th Egyptian court. Forgtful of his princly hops, h claimd kindrd with a popl poor and opprssd, and stmd th rproach of Christ gratr richs than th trasurs of Egypt, for h had rspct unto th rcompns of rward. During his forty yars of xil in Midian, poor as a shphrd, h was contnt and happy with his lot. Surroundd with pacful flocks, and far from th intrigus of a court, h tastd all th charms of solitud, and an intrcours with havn undisturbd. Ths habits, nvr failing sourcs of divin rpos, had so possssd his soul, that it was with difficulty th God of his fathrs could forc him away to mancipat his popl. Passing at onc from th cars of a shphrd to th dutis of a king, though h had to form a brutish popl to all th habits of civil and rligious socity; though his kindnss was rquitd with provocations and insults byond xampl; yt h nvr forsook his charg. Isral was to him as his own bowls: h ld thm through th dsrt to th bordrs of th promisd land. In th awful rvolt, whn thy worshippd th calf; whn Isral stood on th brink, th vry brink of dstruction; whn God himslf, all indignant with his From Dak, accssd Octobr 15, 2013.

6 Dutronomy Chaptr popl, tmptd Moss not to pray, h rdoubld all th fforts of intrcssion, and intrposd his own lif btwn th vnganc and th popl. And whn havn signifid its plasur that h should s th land and di, all his solicitud was still for th popl. H bsought th Lord for a succssor, and rsignd his charg with a chrfulnss xcding th rluctanc with which it was assumd. H spnt his rmaining tim wholly in divin affairs. H rcitd th law, and rnwd th covnant. Th last day h wholly spnt in rciting psalms, and in shdding bndictions on all th tribs. Thus h travlld through lif with qual stps, and finishd his cours with incrasing strngth. H approachd trnity lik th rich shavs of th harvst, and clustrs of th vintag, full of all wisdom, 4 and matur in vry virtu. Rgarding th authorship of this final chaptr: On of th most knuckl-hadd xplanations for this chaptr is that Moss wrot it prophtically. Thr is no rason to think that. As w hav prviously xamind, Joshua had likly listnd as th blssing was givn by Moss and wrot this down, along with som bar-bons narrativ. In this chaptr, Joshua likly accompanid Moss to th Mount Nbo. Whn Aaron wnt to Mount Hor (not rally th nam of a mountain; it was just a mountain of a mountain), Moss and Elazar joind him. Moss rmovd Aaron s garmnts and gav thm to his son, Elazar. Thn Aaron did on th mountain top. God also calld Moss to go up to Mount Nbo and to di thr, so it is rasonabl to xpct that Joshua and Elazar accompanid him thr. Although it is possibl that Elazar rcordd this information, and thr ar vn knucklhadd thoris that Moss wrot it himslf in advanc of his own dath, it is much mor plausibl that Joshua 5 wrot th last fw chaptrs, as th official succssor to Moss. Throughout Gnsis, w noticd a rlativly smooth transition from on writr to th nxt, as appars to b th cas hr. And whras th sparation btwn th book of Dutronomy and th book of Joshua is wll-dfind in th English, in th original Hbrw, w just had scroll aftr scroll aftr scroll and on bgan whr th othr finishd. Although McG suggsts that this could wll b th bginning of th book of Joshua, what w hav hr is proprly an pilogu to th lif of Moss, and, vn though this is writtn by Joshua, it proprly blongs with th book of Dutronomy. Finally, thr is nothing in Scriptur which would prclud Joshua from writing this and thr is intrnal vidnc that Joshua was a writr of Scriptur in Joshua 24:26 27: And Joshua wrot ths words in th book of th Law of God; and h took a larg ston and st it up thr undr th oak that was by th sanctuary of Y howah. And Joshua said to all th popl, Obsrv, this ston will b a witnss against us, for it has hard all th words of Y howah which H spok with us; thrfor, it will b as a witnss against you, so that you do not dny your God. Th tim fram is likly that Joshua wrot this prhaps a dcad or so latr, aftr th conqust of th land. Howvr, h could hav writtn it vn latr than that. Most commntators s this as I do; that Joshua probably wrot this addndum to th book of Dutronomy; and that it was not writtn prophtically by Moss. 4 From accssd May 27, Okay, I admit that this is th asist way to dismiss a thory by using nam calling. Howvr, thr ar svral phrass in this chaptr;.g., to this day (v. 6), sinc thn, no propht has arisn (v. 10) which stand in dirct opposition to Mosaic authorship of this chaptr. Prvious vidnc; th finishing of th Torah and handing it ovr to th prists (Dut. 31:24 26) indicats that Moss had thought that h had finishd writing Holy Scriptur (h hadn t, as his song and his blssing and a rcount of on last xprinc also bcam a part of th Torah). And finally, th conclusion of this chaptr, that no propht lik Moss has arisn and thn his grat and powrful gifts ar numratd, is uncharactristic of th writing of Moss. H was not a man to toot his own horn, so to spak. So, that Moss could hav writtn this final chaptr is within th ralm of possibility; and monkys might fly out of my butt.

7 5331 Th Book of Dutronomy Commntators on Authorship of Dutronomy 34 Commntator John Calvin Adam Clark Clark continus Hard Sayings of th Bibl Commntary It is not crtain who wrot this chaptr; unlss w admit th probabl conjctur of th ancints, that Joshua was its author. But sinc Elazar th prist might hav prformd this 6 offic, it will b bttr to lav a mattr of no vry grat importanc undcidd. This chaptr could not hav bn writtn by Moss. A man crtainly cannot giv an account of his own dath and burial. W may thrfor considr Moss s words as nding with th conclusion of th prcding chaptr, as what follows could not possibly hav bn writtn by himslf. To suppos that h anticipatd ths circumstancs, or that thy wr shown to him by an spcial rvlation, is dparting far from proprity and ncssity, and involving th subjct in absurdity; for God givs no prophtic intimations but such as ar absolutly ncssary to b mad; but thr is no ncssity hr, for th Spirit which inspird th writr of th following book, would naturally communicat th mattr that concluds this. I bliv, 7 thrfor, that Dut. 34:1 12, should constitut th first chaptr of th book of Joshua. This chaptr [thrfor] forms a vry propr commncmnt to th book of Joshua, for of this last chaptr of Dutronomy th first chaptr of Joshua is an vidnt continuation. If th subjct b viwd in this light it will rmov vry apparanc of absurdity and contradiction 8 with which, on th common mod of intrprtation, it stands sadly ncumbrd. Fw will b willing to dbat th thsis that Moss was...th author of this last chaptr of Dutronomy. Thr ar just too many xprssions that mak littl or no sns if plac in Moss mouth for mpal, th phrass to this day (Dut. 34:6); sinc thn, no propht has risn (Dut. 34:10) and for no on has vr shown th mighty powr or prformd th awsom dds that Moss did in th sight of all Isral (Dut. 34:12) just do not sm naturally attributd to Moss. On th contrary, such xprssions must b put along with th othr post-mosaica such as Num. 12:3 and tratd as additions which wr addd by a latr writr undr th inspiration of th Spirit of God or as arly glosss that wr brought into th txt undr divin approval. Ancint Jws hav hld that Joshua was th on whom th Spirit of God authorizd to add statmnts such as appar in Dutronomy 34 to th book Moss had lft. Th vidnc for this viw, which is also shard by a numbr of vanglical blivrs, is found in Joshua 24:26: And Joshua rcordd ths things in th Book of th Law of God (a rfrnc that many of us tak to b pointing to th Pntatuch). 9 Matthw Hnry Having rad how Moss finishd his tstimony, w ar told hr how h immdiatly aftr finishd his lif. This chaptr could not b writtn by Moss himslf, but was addd by Joshua or Elazar, or, as bishop Patrick conjcturs, by Samul, who was a propht, and wrot by divin authority what h found in th rcords of Joshua, and his succssors th 10 judgs.

8 Dutronomy Chaptr It is important to undrstand what has gon bfor. Th Prqul of Dutronomy 34 Moss has givn his final srmons to th sons of Isral. H has writtn a song/psalm. And now, th childrn of Isral ar about to cross ovr th Jordan Rivr but God tlls Moss, No. You stay hr. God, som tim ago, has laid down th law to Moss about not coming into th Land of Promis. In his first srmon, Moss said: But th LORD was angry with m bcaus of you and would not listn to m. And th LORD said to m, 'Enough from you; do not spak to M of this mattr again. Go up to th top of Pisgah and lift up your ys wstward and northward and southward and astward, and look at it with your ys, for you shall not go ovr this Jordan. But charg Joshua, and ncourag and strngthn him, for h shall go ovr at th had of this popl, and h shall put thm in possssion of th land that you shall s.' (Dut. 3:26 28; ESV; capitalizd) In othr words, right aftr Moss no-watr tst failur, God told him how things wr going to b. Th LORD said to Moss, "Go up into this mountain of Abarim and s th land that I hav givn to th popl of Isral. Whn you hav sn it, you also shall b gathrd to your popl, as your brothr Aaron was, bcaus you rblld against My word in th wildrnss of Zin whn th congrgation quarrld, failing to uphold M as holy at th watrs bfor thir ys." (Num 27:12 14; ESV; capitalizd) Soon thraftr, God chos Joshua to tak Moss plac (Num. 27:15 23). So Moss, awhil ago (wll, a fw months back), laid his hands on Joshua, transfrring his authority to Joshua. In this chaptr, Moss will climb up to th top of Mount Nbo as ordrd by God. Dut. 32:48 52 That vry day th LORD spok to Moss, "Go up this mountain of th Abarim, Mount Nbo, which is in th land of Moab, opposit Jricho, and viw th land of Canaan, which I am giving to th popl of Isral for a possssion. And di on th mountain which you go up, and b gathrd to your popl, as Aaron your brothr did in Mount Hor and was gathrd to his popl, bcaus you brok faith with m in th midst of th popl of Isral at th watrs of Mribah-kadsh, in th wildrnss of Zin, and bcaus you did not trat m as holy in th midst of th popl of Isral. For you shall s th land bfor you, but you shall not go thr, into th land that I am giving to th popl of Isral." Gill writs: Whr th Isralits had lain ncampd for som tim, and whr Moss had rpatd to thm th law, and all that, is containd in this book of Dutronomy; and aftr h had rad to thm th song in Dut. 32:1; and had blssd th svral tribs, as in th prcding chaptr: at th command of God h wnt 11 up [to th top of Mount Nbo].

23 5347 Th Book of Dutronomy Th Tim Fram for Moss Ascnding th Mountain 1. Moss faild th scond no-watr tst. H was supposd to spak to th rock and out from it would flow watrs of lif; h struck th rock twic instad, out of angr. 2. God told him thn and thr that h go up th mountain of Abirim and b gathrd to his popl thr (a uphmism for dying). Num. 27:12 14a (Th LORD said to Moss, "Go up into this mountain of Abarim and s th land that I hav givn to th popl of Isral. Whn you hav sn it, you also shall b gathrd to your popl, as your brothr Aaron was, bcaus you rblld against my word in th wildrnss of Zin whn th congrgation quarrld, failing to uphold m as holy at th watrs bfor thir nd ys." ESV; capitalizd) Th 2 no-watr situation took plac circa 1406 B.C. 3. Moss ptitions for a man to tak his plac, and God grants him this ptition; Joshua would tak his plac. So Moss lays hand on him in public, indicating a transfr of powr and authority to Joshua. Num. 27: Whn spaking to th sons of Isral in his first srmon, Moss tlls thm that h would not b going ovr th Jordan Rivr with thm, but that h would di on this mountain, as pr th ordrs of God. Dut. 3:26 28 ( But th LORD was angry with m bcaus of you and would not listn to m. And th LORD said to m, 'Enough from you; do not spak to m of this mattr again. Go up to th top of Pisgah and lift up your ys wstward and northward and southward and astward, and look at it with your ys, for you shall not go ovr this Jordan. But charg Joshua, and ncourag and strngthn him, for h shall go ovr at th had of this popl, and h shall put thm in possssion of th land that you shall s.' ESV; capitalizd) Moss is saying this circa 1406 B.C. 5. Moss actually ascnds this mountain and ss all th land that God would giv to th popl of Isral in Dut. 34:1 4. Circa 1406 B.C. 6. Thrfor, all of this taks plac within a fw months tim.

This givs us at last two possibilitis: somon wrot ths words long aftr Moss viwd this ara; or somon took th ara dsignations that Moss mad and updatd thm. I think th lattr choic is unlikly, bcaus whn this occurs, th old and nw nams ar placd togthr. Th Land God would Giv to Isral (Map); from th Bibl Atlas in E-sword (Map 038). Gilad is th land on th far ast of th Land of Promis, th land ast of th Jordan Rivr and th land of Dan is on th coast of th Grat Sa, th farthst wst. Although Barns givs svral diffrnt idas as to th Dan which is mant,.g., th Dan of Gn. 14:14, th us of th nams of th othr tribs in subsqunt vrss indicat that th Dan w ar spaking of is th ara which would b inhabitd by th trib of Dan. Usually, Dan is th northrnmost rgion of Isral (if its boundaris during th tim of th Judgs is takn into considration). Whn dfining th land of promis, it would mak sns to includ th astrn-most and northrn-most rgions, which is what w hav hr. Howvr, that would man that ths final words wr not pnnd by Joshua, but somon vn from a latr tim than him.

29 5353 Th Book of Dutronomy Barns: This can hardly b th Dan (Dan Laish) of Judgs 18:27 ff, which was not in Gilad. It is probably a town of this nam which stood in th north of Praa; prhaps th sam as Dan jaan, 24 2Sam. 24:6; and th Dan of Gn. 14:14. Ptr Ptt: Th rfrnc to Dan may rprsnt an updating by a latr scrib. Dan bcam th northrnmost point of Isral as in `from Dan to Brshba'. But it may b anothr Dan as in Gnsis 25 14:14. Thr is a third possibility that God would show an ara to Moss and tll him, Th trib of Dan will occupy this rgion. This introducs somthing which I find intrsting this has to hav som suprnatural lmnt to it. Moss, vn with good vision, cannot rally s th ara Dan will occupy from a tall pak opposit Jricho. God has to mak that possibl. So, if God maks th ability to s this ara possibl, thn why would God not tll Moss who will liv in ths rgions, as this is somthing that God obviously knows. To dny on suprnatural lmnt would b a clar misundrstanding of th gography hr. So, is rasonably concivabl that God, showing grat honor to Moss, not only shows him th aras th Jws will occupy in th futur, but that H would vn tll Moss which trib would liv whr. This is prhaps th simplst and most logical xplanation. Gill: though th y of Moss was not bcom dim, as was usual at such an ag h was of, yt it can hardly b thought it should b so strong as to tak a distinct viw of th whol land of Canaan, to th utmost bordrs of it: no doubt but his natural sight was wondrfully strngthnd and incrasd by th Lord, by whom h was dirctd first to bhold th land of Gilad on that sid of Jordan whr h was, and which was th possssion of th two tribs of Rubn and Gad, and th half trib of Manassh; and thn h was dirctd to look forward to th land of Canaan byond Jordan, to th northrn part of it; for Dan is not th trib of Dan, but a city of that nam, formrly Lshm, which th Danits took, and lay th farthst north of th land, hnc th phras "from Dan to Brshba", s Joshua 19:47; 26 this city is so calld by anticipation.

God is allowing Moss to s from across th Jordan to Jricho, down along th coast of th Dad Sa throughout th southrn vally to th southrn nd of th Dad Sa, whr Zoar was. In fact, at on tim, th land btwn Zoar and Egypt was wll-watrd and bautiful (Gn. 13:10). Moss knw many of ths placs from having travld to thm in his forty yars of wandring and through his gographical training at th Egyptian palac.

So Moss, mor than likly accompanid by Joshua, climbd up Mount Nbo to th top of Pisgah, and God causd him to s all th land that would b givn to th sons of Isral. Josph Sutcliff (mploying a littl imagination hr): With all th agility of youth h ascnds th ridg of Abarim, aiming dirctly at Nbo, and th summit of Pisgah. On his arrival, natur had mad hr arrangmnts for vision. Th clouds had thrown a gntl curtain ovr th highr havns; th sun just risn with a full bam, had bspangld all th plains, and gildd th dclivitis of th wstrn hills. Th whol fac of natur, divstd of th garb of wintr, had just assumd th charms of spring. Th rapid Jordan, sporting in th plains, and winding in th mountains, discovrd its silvr strams from Gilad to Dan; southwards h tracd th swlling flood, as far as th Lak of Sodom. An infinitud of cattl just risn from thir grassy couch, wr fattning in th vrdant mads. Th timid flocks, cautiously vnturing from thir pns, had bgun to crop th hrbag of th rising grounds. Lbanon in th north, and all his nighbouring hills wr crownd with cdars. All th ruggd placs, barrn in othr countris, wr hr adornd with th mantling vin. Th filds of barly, changing to a goldn hu, invitd by thir abundanc. Th walld citis, vry whr raising thir bold towrs abov th surrounding gardns, gav a finish to th charms of landscap. What a contrast btwn Canaan, and th wary dsrt. What a country: dlightful as th gardn of th Lord! But ah, its inhabitants wr not worthy. Effminat by habit, thy wr yt aslp scur in thir sins; nor did thy dram that th vnganc, long rproachd with supinnss, was just at th door.

This was an amazing momnt in th history of Isral. Two gnrations of Isralits had bn ld by Moss through th dsrt. Thy had hard th actual voic of God.

Ths popl knw of ths promiss; thy knw som of th history of Abraham and God s intractions with this grat saint. This was th culmination of th lif work of Moss. Th Lif Work of Moss 1. Gnrally spaking, Moss was to gathr th popl of Isral whil thy ar in Egypt, and lad thm to th Land of Promis. Howvr, his lif s work was so much mor than that. 2. Moss had to go to th Pharaoh of Egypt, unarmd, and tll th Pharaoh, Lt my popl go! 3. God prformd spctacular miracls at th hand of Moss, bfor th popl of Egypt, bfor th Pharaoh, and bfor th childrn of Isral. 4. Onc Pharaoh finally allowd Moss to gathr up th childrn of Isral to lav, Moss had to do that, and thn lad his popl, dspit th fact that Pharaoh thn changd his mind, organizd an army, and cam aftr Moss and his popl intnding to kill thm. 5. Onc God dispnsd with th army of Pharaoh, Moss ld th popl to Mount Sinai, whr thy hard God and saw th grat manifstations of His prsnc. 6. Moss had to rcord th laws of God and thn bring thm to th popl and tach thm. 7. Moss brought th Isralits to th boardr, organizd a mission of 12 spis to ntr into th land, and thn dal with th fallout whn 10 of thos spis whind about th siz of th occupants of Canaan. 8. Moss apparntly continud to tach, although h guidd his popl to rtrat from Canaan, as God bgan to dstroy with th sin unto dath Gn X. 9. Moss continud to lad th childrn of Isral, dspit thir prdilction towards rbllion, towards a rjction of his authority, toward stubbornnss. Thy spnt an additional 38 yars out in th dsrtwildrnss as God killd off all Gn X. 10. Thn, at th guidanc of God, Moss bgan to lad this nw gnration up along th astrn sid of th Dad Sa, with th intnt of ntring th land of promis from th ast. 11. Moss gav 3 amazing srmons, tying th history of Isral to God and thrfor, dmanding obdinc of this popl to God. 12. And now, as th popl stand rady to ntr into th land, Moss work is complt. As will b latr discussd, Moss is closly connctd to th Law, and th Law condmns us. Joshua mans savior, and, thrfor, h would lad th popl into th Land of Promis. Chaptr Outlin Charts, Graphics and Short Doctrins Intrstingly nough, th targum trats all of this as if it wr a vision: th Targum of Jonathan paraphrass th abov passags, and obsrvs that th Lord showd Moss th mighty dds of Jphthah of Gilad, and th victoris of Samson, who was of th trib of Dan; th idolatris of that trib, and Samson th saviour that should spring from thm; Dborah and Barak, and th princs of th hous of Naphtali; Joshua th son of Nun, of th trib of Ephraim, that should fight with and slay th kings of Canaan; and Gidon th son of Joash, of th trib of Manassh, that should fight with Midian and Amalk, and all th kings of Isral, and th kingdom of th hous of Judah; th king of th south, that should join th king of th north to dstroy th inhabitants of th arth; and vn th dstruction of Armiilus or antichrist, and th war of Gog and Magog, and th grat affliction Michal 38 David Guzik s Commntary on th Old Tstamnt; courtsy of -sword; 2006; Dut. 34:4.

39 5363 Th Book of Dutronomy 39 shall sav from. Th problm with this intrprtation is, non of ths xploits ar mntiond in th dscription of th land (in th Masortic txt), and, as will b discussd, non of this appars to b a vision. Bcaus th tribs ar rfrncd and associatd with this or that pic of land, it sms most likly that Joshua wrot this chaptr aftr h ld th Jwish popl into wstrn Canaan and dfatd th indignous popls thr. Now, you may balk at this, and think, why would h wait so long? Two rasons at last: (1) Joshua had a job to do; h would hav plnty of tim to writ whn h got oldr aftr th land had bn conqurd. (2) Fw popl undrstand and proprly intrprt currnt vnts accuratly. Somtims prspctiv is ndd in ordr for a prson to raliz, I ought to writ this down; I ought to rcord this information for futur gnrations. It is likly that Joshua told this to th popl prhaps on svral occasions but at som point, Joshua knw that this ndd to b rcordd for a futur gnration for thos who would com along aftr h himslf had did. W find th sam thing with th gospls of Jsus Christ. Th discipls did not appar to writ down a history of Jsus Christ soon aftr His rsurrction and ascnsion. At that point, thy wnt out an vanglizd th world. Dcads latr, 4 mn dcidd it would b important to rcord th vnts in th lif of Jsus Christ. Thy no doubt, whn vanglizing, spok of Jsus Christ and what H said and did. Thy also usd th Old Tstamnt quit frquntly. So it is to b xpctd, at som point, for ths mn to raliz, mayb I should writ som of this information down. Much of this information about Jsus Christ was out thr for that gnration. H had th 12 discipls (11 and latr Paul) who wnt about taching Jsus and this would hav includd things which H said and did. And this mssag was sprad throughout Asia Minor and byond. Howvr, ths mn could s thir nd coming, and thy knw that thir mssag and th lif of Jsus ndd to b prsrvd. Thrfor, dcads aftr our Lord s rsurrction and ascnsion, 4 mn bgan to writ a biography of th Lord. It appars that Mark was first, Matthw was nxt, Luk was third; and thn, many dcads latr, John wrot his gospl. Mark was closly associatd with Ptr, and, whn haring Ptr tll him about all of ths various vnts, Mark dcidd, at som point, to writ ths things down. Whthr h did it all at onc or ovr a priod of svral yars, w do not know. Matthw may hav bn awar of th gospl of Mark, but h was concrnd with tying Jsus to th Old Tstamnt. H wantd th popl to know that Jsus is th Mssiah promisd in th Old Tstamnt. Thrfor, h, an unschoold thologian, wrot a gospl with a grat mphasis upon th fulfillmnt of prophcy. I bliv that Luk usd th books of Mark and Matthw, as wll as many othr sourcs (som by dirct intrviw), to complt his gospl. Furthrmor, it appars that Luk mad an ffort to mak his gospl chronological. Luk was a gntil historian and h was in th uniqu position to spak to many ywitnsss in ordr to gt th dtails and ordr corrct. Finally, John wrot his gospl many dcads latr; and with th intntion of talking about dtails and vnts that th othr discipls had not mntiond. H providd a uniqu prspctiv of Jsus, with an undrstanding of th Church Ag that h now livd in, and how that rlatd to th final tachings of Jsus. My point is, ths writings just lik this final chaptr of Dutronomy occur naturally, in a way that w would xpct thm to occur. Joshua was a man of war; h apparntly bgan to kp a diary (lik Gnral Gorg Patton did); but this all occurrd vry naturally, allowing for his own prsonality and prdilctions to play out.

This mans that God has causd Abraham to s; in othr words, this was a suprnatural vnt, but not an cstatic vision. That is Moss saw ths placs clarly with his own ys. Strong's #7200 BDB #906. Th ara spcifid in ths fw vrss is not th totality of what Moss was causd to s. W rad in Dut. 3:27: Go up to th top of Pisgah and lift up your ys to th wst and north and south and ast, and s th land with your ys, for you will not cross ovr this Jordan. This confirms that Moss did not hav a vision, but h actually was abl to s th Land of Promis. God has mad it possibl for Moss to s all of th land. I hav lft off th vrbiag with your ys. I am not sur xactly what this adds, othr than to indicat that what Moss saw with his own ys was th land promisd Abraham by God. This was not an hallucination but a miracl, that Moss, with his vry own ys, saw all th Land of Promis. Kil and Dlitzsch concur with my intrprtation: This sight of vry part of th land on th ast and wst was not an cstatic vision, but a sight with th bodily ys, whos natural powr of vision was miraculously incrasd by God, to giv Moss a glimps at last of th glorious land which h was 40 not to trad, and dlight his y with a viw of th inhritanc intndd for his popl.

46 Dutronomy Chaptr Th Pulpit Commntary: This wid prospct could not b survyd by any ordinary powr of vision; so that Moss must for th occasion hav had his powr of vision miraculously incrasd. Thr is 42 no ground for supposing that h saw th scn in an cstatic vision, and not with his bodily ys. Finally, th fact that Moss saw ths placs with his own ys is confirmd in Dut. 3:27, whr God tlls Moss 43 : Go up to th top of Pisgah and lift up your ys wstward and northward and southward and astward, and look at it with your ys, for you shall not go ovr this Jordan. (ESV; mphasis min) Th ida is, I can s across th strt with rasonabl clarity, but I cannot s th nd of my block with rasonabl clarity. So, it is a mattr of tmporarily allowing Moss vision to b strong nough to s for mils. So far, this is how v. 4 rads: Y howah said to him, This [is] th land [concrning] which I swor to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, saying, I will giv it to your dscndants [lit., sd]. [Now] I hav causd you to s [all of it],... W do not know how audibl th voic of God was. My assumption is that Joshua (and, if h was thr, Elazar) hard his voic. Now, why don t w har anything about ithr of ths two mn in this chaptr? Thy ar lik th fly-on-th-wall obsrvrs. Moss had srvd God for forty yars undr th gratst prssurs that a man could fac, at tims whn h was in opposition to almost two million othrs. Joshua dos not cloud up his final hours with th mntioning of himslf. Joshua, in ths final coupl of chaptrs, has sn to it that throughout th song and th blssing and th dying of Moss, that Moss is cntr stag. Joshua was a tru man of grac. At any tim, Joshua could hav told us that h also hard th voic of God, that h also saw what Moss saw or that Moss spok to him of what h saw, but h chos to rmain th provrbial fly on th wall, rcording with th barst of dtail th last fw hours of th lif of Moss. W hav no ida how long this took.

Using an anthropopathism, God had grat rspct for Moss and, dspit th fact that th last coupl days of his lif wr rcordd by Joshua, God still saw to it that th concntration was upon Moss and his hritag. God promisd this land to Abraham in Gn. 12:1 7; to Isaac (Gn. 26:2 4); and to Jacob (Gn. 28:13 15). W rad in Psalm 105:7 11 H is th LORD our God; His judgmnts ar in all th arth.

It should b pointd out that, whn Moss confssd his sin, God forgav him. As MacLarn put it: And was th pnalty such a vry grat on? Do you think that a man who had bn toiling for ighty yars at a vry 44 thanklss task would considr it a vry svr punishmnt to b told, `Go hom and tak your wags'? But God did not withdraw His grac from Moss; nor did God casually cast Moss asid. Thr ar a grat many rasons why God did not allow Moss to go into th Land of Promis. Most of th rasons why Moss is not allowd to ntr th land ar symbolic (or typical). This chart is also found in Dutronomy 4 (HTML) (PDF) (WPD). Catgoris of Rasons Why Moss is not Going into th Land Catgory Moss disobyd God. Moss rmains out of th land, in ordr to mak it clar that thr was a grat mistak in th scond no-watr tst. Dtaild Explanation Moss was told to spak to th rock (in th scond no-watr situation), but h hit th rock instad. God holds him accountabl for his disobdinc. In th first no-watr tst, th Jws said that thy lackd watr and thy complaind. God told Moss to strik th rock on tim, which h did, and from it flowd watrs of lif. This rprsnts our Lord bing judgd for our sins. Th scond no-watr tst, Moss was told to spak to th rock. Instad, Moss struck th rock twic, which dstroys th typ. Striking th rock rfrs to judgmnt, but th Lord is judgd only on tim for sins (which is rprsntd by th first no-watr tst). Moss was supposd to simply spak to th rock; as w simply bliv in Jsus Christ. 44 From accssd May 25, 2015.

No on gts a pass No man is abov th Law. simply bcaus thy hav a high offic. Moss stands as a cautionary tal. Moss as a typ/joshua as a typ. Th popl lovd and rspctd Moss and rcognizd his rlationship with God, dspit thir bouts with arroganc. Moss stands as an xampl or as a cautionary figur if God will disciplin Moss, thn thy should b carful for thir own actions and thoughts. Moss is closly associatd with th Law. W always think of Moss and th Law togthr; it is calld, in fact, th Mosaic Law. Th Law dos not sav us. Th Law dos not tak us into th Land of Promis. W ar savd by Jsus Christ; Jsus Christ is our Savior. Joshua s nam is th Hbrw vrsion of Jsus; his nam mans savior. It is th Savior which taks us into th Land of Promis. John 1:17 For th law was givn through Moss; grac and truth cam through Jsus Christ. (ESV) So, Moss is associatd with condmnation by Law and thrfor subjct to dath; but Jsus is associatd with nw lif and th promiss of God. Darby writs: Crossing Jordan was our dath and rsurrction with Christ in a figur. Joshua always rprsnts Christ, Had of His popl, according to th powr of th Spirit. But th wildrnss is this world. Moss dircts and govrns th popl thr according to God; consquntly h dos not ntr into Canaan...Now, th law could not lad into lif; and, thrfor, th flsh, th world, and th law, vr corrlativ in th ways of God, 46 wr found in th journy through th wildrnss; and Moss rmains thr. Th grat Moss is killd and not allowd to ntr th land; th undsrving popl ar ld into th land. No man is absolutly ncssary to th plan of God. Evn a man as grat as Moss is not ssntial to God s plan. In this way, Moss rprsnts th Savior, who must di so that th many may liv. Th sin of th popl bcoms associatd with Moss (rcall how h has told thm, this is happning bcaus of you). H dis, and thy, th undsrvd ons, go into th land. Jsus dis, and w, th undsrving, ar savd. Having a plac in th plan of God is a privilg, somthing that th unblivr dos not grasp (most blivrs do not grasp this). But our ministry, whatvr it happns to b, will com to th nd. You might b doing somthing which is uniqu, and yt, whatvr it is you do will com to an nd. Thr hav bn uniqu pastors (R. B. Thim, Jr.), uniqu vanglists (Billy Graham), uniqu radio tachrs (J. Vrnon McG) but thir ministry will com to an nd. Thr is no qustion about that. So, Moss had to di; his ministry had to com to an nd. Th popl of Isral could not b ld to bliv that th plan of God and that thir futur rstd solly upon th shouldrs of Moss. Guzik writs: Moss knw that h was rplacabl. It is a dangrous thing whn anybody in th ministry bgins to think thy ar doing somthing no on ls can do, or that thy ar irrplacabl. God can and dos us anyon; if a ministry dos dpnd on on irrplacabl prson, thn it is of man and not of God. Moss was 47 humbl nough, and wis nough, to know this. Moss work is don. Closly rlatd to th rason abov is, Moss had com to th nd of his work on arth. Dying is not a punishmnt, but a promotion for him. 45 This concpt was takn from David Guzik s Commntary on th Old Tstamnt; courtsy of -sword; 2006; Dut. 4: John Nlson Darby, Synopsis of th Old and Nw Tstamnts; from -Sword, Dut. 34: David Guzik s Commntary on th Old Tstamnt; courtsy of -sword; 2006; Dut. 4:21 24.

Th word dispnsation, rfrs to th administration of a houshold. It is totally misusd in th Catholic cult and it is partially misusd by Protstants, whn thy rfr to it as a priod of tim. Th administration of God s houshold hr on arth was arlir placd into th hands of th Isralits and thn placd into th hands of th church. Th dsignation, srvant of th Lord, has bn applid to Abraham (Gn. 26:24), to Moss (Ex. 14:31), to Joshua (Joshua 24:29), to David (2Sam. 7:5), to th prophts in gnral (2Kings 9:7) and to Isral as a whol (Isa. 41:8). 52 God, during th Ag of Isral, vn usd a forign king to carry out His will (Jr. 25:9) and calld him His srvant. This titl was on of Paul s favorit prsonal dsignations (Rom. 1:1 Philip. 1:1). Dath of Moss on Mount Nbo (ngraving); from Blu Lttr Bibl; originally from Popl's Standard Holy Bibl (1872) by Ziglr Publishrs; accssd May 29, I lik th solitary mphasis hr. God has bn prparing Moss for a month or so concrning his dath hr. Dut. 31:14 17 And th LORD said to Moss, "Bhold, th days approach whn you must di. Call Joshua and prsnt yourslvs in th tnt of mting, that I may commission him." And Moss and Joshua wnt and prsntd thmslvs in th tnt of mting. And th LORD appard in th tnt in a pillar of cloud. And th pillar of cloud stood ovr th ntranc of th tnt. And th LORD said to Moss, "Bhold, you ar about to li down with your fathrs. Thn this popl will ris and whor aftr th forign gods among thm in th land that thy ar ntring, and thy will forsak m and brak my covnant that I hav mad with thm. Thn My angr will b kindld against thm in that day, and I will forsak thm and hid My fac from thm, and thy will b dvourd. And many vils and troubls will com upon thm, so that thy will say in that day, 'Hav not ths vils com upon us bcaus our God is not among us?' (ESV; capitalizd) Evn hr, God was looking toward th futur, and to th gnrations which would follow Moss, and thir grat futur failings. Dut 32:48 52 That vry day th LORD spok to Moss, "Go up this mountain of th Abarim, Mount Nbo, which is in th land of Moab, opposit Jricho, and viw th land of Canaan, which I am giving to th popl of Isral for a possssion. And di on th mountain which you go up, and b gathrd to your popl, as Aaron your brothr did in Mount Hor and was gathrd to his popl, bcaus you brok faith with M in th midst of th popl of Isral at th watrs of Mribah-kadsh, in th wildrnss of Zin, and bcaus you did not trat M as holy in th midst of th popl of Isral. For you shall s th land bfor you, but you shall not go thr, into th land that I am giving to th popl of Isral." (ESV; capitalizd) This was so ingraind in th thinking of Moss, that it bcam a part of what h taught th Isralits. Dut. 3:21 28 And I commandd Joshua at that tim, 'Your ys hav sn all that th LORD your God has don to ths two kings. So will th LORD do to all th kingdoms into which you ar crossing. You shall not far thm, for it is th LORD your God who fights for you.' "And I pladd with th LORD at that tim, saying, 'O Lord GOD, you hav only bgun to show your srvant your gratnss and your mighty hand. For what god is thr in havn or on arth who can do such works and mighty acts as yours? Plas lt m go ovr and s th good land byond th Jordan, that good hill country and Lbanon.' But th LORD was angry with m bcaus of you and would not listn to m. And th LORD said to m, 'Enough from you; do not spak to M of this mattr again. Go up to th top of Pisgah and lift up your ys wstward and northward and southward and astward, and look at it with your ys, for you shall not go ovr this Jordan. But charg Joshua, and ncourag and strngthn him, for h shall go ovr at th had of this popl, and h shall put thm in possssion of th land 52 Th NIV Study Bibl; 1995; p. 283.

62 Dutronomy Chaptr that you shall s.' This lads us to this final chaptr of Dutronomy and th dath of Moss. (ESV; capitalizd) God again looks forward to th nxt gnration and to th man who would lad thm. This, thrfor, taks us to Dut. 34:1 6 Thn Moss wnt up from th plains of Moab to Mount Nbo, to th top of Pisgah, which is opposit Jricho. And th LORD showd him all th land, Gilad as far as Dan, all Naphtali, th land of Ephraim and Manassh, all th land of Judah as far as th wstrn sa, th Ngb, and th Plain, that is, th Vally of Jricho th city of palm trs, as far as Zoar. And th LORD said to him, "This is th land of which I swor to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, 'I will giv it to your offspring.' I hav lt you s it with your ys, but you shall not go ovr thr." So Moss th srvant of th LORD did thr in th land of Moab, according to th word of th LORD, and h [H?] burid him in th vally in th land of Moab opposit Bth-por; but no on knows th plac of his burial to this day. (ESV; capitalizd) Thr is, apparntly, th notion of som that Moss did as som sort of atonmnt. Coffman: Th prpostrous notion that Moss did as an atonmnt for th sins of Isral, as advancd by som scholars, is rfutd hr by th fact that Moss, lik vry othr mortal who vr livd, suffrd in his dath th dsrvd punishmnt of sin. "Moss' sin at th watrs of Mribah rndrd it ncssary that 53 h should suffr th punishmnt of dath." Howvr, symbolically, this is tru; symbolically, Moss did di for th sins of th popl of Isral. W will look at this topic from a fw diffrnt angls. Whn Critics Ask: Did Moss Writ about his own Dath? DEUTERONOMY 34:1 ff How could Moss hav writtn this chaptr which rcords his own dath? PROBLEM: Dutronomy 34 is a rcord of th dath of Moss in th vally of Moab. Howvr, th Book of Dutronomy has traditionally bn hld to b th work of Moss. How could Moss hav writtn this chaptr that rcords his own dath and burial? SOLUTION: First, it is not ncssary to conclud that Moss could not hav writtn his own obituary. It is ntirly within th powr of God to rval th futur in minut dtail (cf. Danil 2 ; 7 ; 9 ; 12 ). It is not unrasonabl to bliv that th Spirit of God, through Moss, pnnd this final chaptr. Whthr w tak this chaptr as from th pn of Moss or from th pn of Joshua or som othr author, it dos not at all imply that Moss was not th author of th txt of Dutronomy or th othr four books of th Pntatuch. Scond, it is ntirly rasonabl to assum that somon, prhaps Joshua, addd this final chaptr to th books of Moss as a fitting conclusion to th lif of this grat man of God. It is not at all an uncommon practic for somon to add an obituary to th nd of a work by a grat man. This would b similar to th practic of on author writing a prfac to th work of anothr author.

Chaptr Outlin Charts, Graphics and Short Doctrins Thr ar a grat many clus in this chaptr about authorship and who saw what, vn though thr ar many dtails missing from this chaptr. Human Authorship Clus and Considrations 1. Moss is abl to s th ntir land of Canaan, which is a suprnatural ability. Now, I can stp out my front door and s th hous across th strt and dscrib it fairly wll, bcaus I can s about that wll. Moss is sing th land and also, somhow has th locations idntifid for him. Now, th clu hr is, somon has to know this. Somon has to know what Moss was abl to s. Thrfor, 53 From accssd May 25, H rfrncs C.F. Kil, Commntary on th Old Tstamnt, Dutronomy (Grand Rapids; Wm. B. Erdmans Publishing Co.), p. 515.

63 5387 Th Book of Dutronomy Human Authorship Clus and Considrations Joshua was probably with him at this tim (which would hav bn xpctd, as Joshua was with Moss most of th tim). 2. Th popl know that Moss dis. So, Moss cannot climb up to th top of a mountain alon, and di. Somon has to inform th rst of Isral that h has did. Again, logically, Joshua was thr and h witnssd th dath of Moss (or th dad body of Moss). It would b much lss logical for popl to sort of prciv or guss that Moss had did, whn h dos not rturn from th mountain. At what point would his dath b stimatd? A wk latr? A month latr? 3. Although any of this could b miraculous, and Moss wrot th whol thing himslf, how would this writing gt transfrrd from whr Moss dis down to th popl? Again, logically, somon was thr with him. So, vn allowing for th wird intrprtation that Moss wrot all of this, including his dath bfor h dis, somon still has to collct this short manuscript and bring it back down to th popl. 4. Now, if somon brings a manuscript down to th popl, thn why is it ncssary for Moss to prophsy his own dath? Logically, Joshua was thr, Moss told him about his vision, Moss dis, and Joshua brings this information back down to th popl. 5. Th biggst clu is th naming of ths various locations. Joshua assigns ths various aras to th various tribs so Ephraim, Manassh and Naphtali rciv thir inhritancs aftr th land has bn conqurd, and thy rciv ths inhritancs by lot maning, no on dcidd out ahad of tim who would liv whr. 6. Thrfor, this givs us two possibilitis: 1) Th land was shown to Moss and prophtically h was told that Ephraim (for instanc) would liv thr; or, 2) Moss saw th land that Isral would conqur and occupy; h dscribs it to Joshua; and aftr th conquring and distribution of th land, Joshua applis th nams of ths placs to th land that Moss saw. 7. Thr ar problms with both possibilitis. 1) If th land shown to Moss was rvald along with who would occupy it, thn that would b also somwhat miraculous. How did it happn? Did h hav a vision of various popl h knw living in th land? Did God tll him, Ephraim will liv hr? Non of this is outsid th ralm of God s ability; and, to s all of ths lands, that had to b miraculous. Howvr, th vrs sounds to m as if this is not a vision, but somthing that Moss actually ss with his own ys. What I man is, God lads Moss up to a mountain pak to s th land, but if this is going to b a vision, why go up to a mountain pak? 2) Th scond possibility, which I think is th right undrstanding, Moss has to dscrib this land quit accuratly to Joshua, in ordr for Joshua, 7 or so yars latr, to assign a trib to Moss dscription. Howvr, this is not so crazy as it might sm, as Joshua was on of th spis who wnt into th land so Joshua has alrady sn th land and h knows th layout. So, whn Moss dscribs to Joshua what h is sing, it is matchd up in Joshua s mind with what h has alrady sn. 8. Thr is a mor dtaild dscription of Judah and Jricho. Joshua would logically rmmbr Jricho mor than any othr city, as it is th first city that Isral conqurd. Joshua would rmmbr th layout of Judah bcaus h blongd to that trib and h would liv th rst of his lif in Judah. 9. Evrything in this narrativ points to Moss sing all of Isral with his own ys not as if this is a vision, but in th sam way that I can look across my strt and s th houss thr. God told Moss, I hav lt you s it with your ys. (Dut. 34:4). God took Moss to a high pak from which to s all Isral. God told Moss, You r not going ovr thr; which suggsts that Moss is not going into th land which h was abl to s. So, it was clarly miraculous that Moss could s all of Isral; but th miracl appars to b with Moss ability to s. 10. Now, rad carfully Dut. 34:5...and h burid him in th vally in th land of Moab opposit Bth-por; but no on knows th plac of his burial to this day. Moss is on th mountain communing with God (and Joshua is likly thr or vry narby). But h is burid in th vally in th land of Moab, opposit Bthpor. So, how dos Moss body mak this trip (unlss, h falls from this mountain into th vally)? 11. Th most logical xplanation is,

64 Dutronomy Chaptr Human Authorship Clus and Considrations 1) Moss and Joshua wnt up this mountain togthr. 2) Moss dscribs what God says and what h ss. (Joshua might har God s voic) 3) Thn Joshua writs this down, at som point, including th rfrncs to th tribs which liv in th rgions that Moss looks at. Whthr Moss writs any of this down first, is immatrial. 4) Joshua, as Moss assistant, appars to hav functiond, in part, as his scrtary. Matthw Hnry suggsts anothr scnario, but without rally justifying is point of viw: Whn h [Moss] had mad an nd of blssing Isral, w may suppos, h solmnly took lav of Joshua, and Elazar, and th rst of his frinds, who probably brought him to th foot of th hill; but thn h gav thm such a charg as Abraham gav to his srvants at th foot of anothr hill: Tarry you hr whil I go yondr and di: thy must not s him 54 di, bcaus thy must not know of his spulchr. Chaptr Outlin Charts, Graphics and Short Doctrins Priodically, I nd to mntion th goofy intrprtations and dal with thm, as som of you hav rad or hard 55 thm (and, who knows, you might b wondring, did Kukis s this?). Whn Moss dis at th mouth of God, Rabbis in th past hav intrprtd this as God kissing Moss to his dath. That crtainly sounds potic and sort of lik a happy thought, but consistntly throughout Scriptur, whn rfrnc is mad to th mouth of Y howah, this sam phras is gnrally translatd according to th commandmnt of Y howah. This is bcaus that which procds from God s mouth is His Word, His commands to us. Thrfor, thr is no rason to r-intrprt this phras which is so consistntly rndrd and undrstood lswhr.

Th city was assignd to th trib of Rubn in Joshua 13:20. It is intrsting, that, if God burid Moss, why not at th top of Bth-por? Why not aftr H showd Moss all of th land that th Isralits would gt? Why did Moss rturn or go down from th mountain? If Joshua was thr (which I bliv h was), why did h not simply bury Moss thr? How and why was Moss body movd from thr? Ths things will b discussd latr in th doctrin of Who Burid Moss? It occurs to m that Moss, having did, may hav falln from whr h stood on th mountain, which took him to th vally. But this is complt spculation. Barns maks a vry odd statmnt hr: Baring in mind th apparanc of Moss at th Transfiguration in Matt. 17:1 10, and what is said by Jud (in Jud 1:9), w may conjctur that Moss aftr dath passd into th sam stat with Enoch and Elijah; and that his grav could not b 59 found bcaus h was shortly translatd (transportd) from it. Th only way to mak sns of what Barns says hr is, whn a prson is translatd, lik Enoch or Elijah, that thy lav thir mortal body bhind. I don t quit s how that is diffrnt from dying, as dying involvs sparating th soul from our mortal bodis. If what Enoch and Elijah xprincd is diffrnt from dath gnrally calld translation by most commntators thn w would xpct thir bodis albit, transformd to go with thm.

Whatvr sits ar claimd to xist in Isral today, may or may not rally b th actual placs that thy purport to b, but vn if thy ar, w do not fall down on our kns and worship thos placs. Coffman: "Moss' grav was probably wll known in arlir days, but, in cours of tim th knowldg of it was lost, and in th opinion of th narrator th grav ought nvr to hav bn known to mn![12] A commntator who could cook up anything lik that is capabl also of supposing that th Unitd Stats of Amrica lost th gravs of Gorg Washington, Ulysss S.

Dos Joshua know that his body was lain to rst in th vally? That is, w rasonably can assum that Joshua saw most of what is dscribd in this chaptr, but w do not know how h knw whr Moss body was burid. Did h s somthing which was miraculous? (Why dos h not spak of sing such a miracl?) Did h s Moss body fall from th mountain? Did h carry Moss body down to th vally? (Why would h do that?) Or, mayb Joshua saw nothing at all aftr Moss wnt up th mountain, but, whn h wrot this information down, a dcad or so latr, h knw that God had burid Moss in th vally. This final option sms lik th most likly to m. What is ky, thn as wll as now, is th doctrin in our souls. What is ky is sing God with our mind s y. That is, w undrstand Him bcaus H has rvald Himslf. Thrfor, th Christian faith dos not hav (or, should not hav) a numbr of rligious artifacts or sits of worship. All of that is to tak plac in th soul. Now, should w not hav crosss (which ar probably inaccurat to bgin with)? Should w not go to Jrusalm or to th holy land? Should w not go to various sits in Isral? I think this falls undr th command of Paul, Lt vry man b convincd in his own mind. (Rom. 14:5; s also Col. 2:16) This suggsts to m that waring a cross, as somwhat of a tstimony, is okay; but to think that your cross is good luck or has som kind of mystical, spiritual powr, is not okay. Whthr you hav a cross or not is not narly as important as th doctrin in your soul. I think I had a cross whn I was much youngr; I don t hav on now.

Thos who adamantly bliv that God burid Moss ar not mor spiritual than thos who bliv th popl of Isral burid Moss. Furthrmor, R. B. Thim, Jr. was not dogmatic about vry singl thing (bliv it or not).

But not how th txt rads: Th LORD said to Moss, "Go up into this mountain of Abarim and s th land that I hav givn to th popl of Isral. Whn you hav sn it, you also shall b gathrd to your popl, as your brothr Aaron was, bcaus you rblld against My word in th wildrnss of Zin whn th congrgation quarrld, failing to uphold M as holy at th watrs bfor thir ys."

But latr, Finally, Moss, th srvant of Y howah, did thr in th land of Moab according to th word [lit., mouth] of Y howah. H burid him in th vally, in th land of Moab, opposit Bth-por, and no man knows his grav sit to this day. (Dut. 34:5 6) 4. So, aftr bing shown all th land God would giv to Isral, Moss ithr cam down off th mountain and did; or h did on th mountain, but God burid him in th vally. 5. Now, if Moss coms down th mountain, thn it would b logical for him to com fac to fac with th sons of Isral. 6. So, what appars to b th cas is, Moss, aftr sing th land, did, whil still on th mountain, communing with God, and thn ithr God or Joshua burid Moss body in th vally blow. 7. If Joshua burid his body, that mans Joshua would hav to haul Moss body down th mountain. Thn h would b among th popl whn going to bury Moss. All of thos altrnativs lad us to problms and contradictions. 8. So God appars to hav takn Moss down th mountain (did Moss di and thn his body fll down th mountain?). Could this b th rsult of a disput btwn Michal th Archangl and Satan? Jud 9 rads: But whn th archangl Michal, contnding with th dvil, was disputing about th body of Moss, h did not prsum to pronounc a blasphmous judgmnt, but said, "Th Lord rbuk you." 9. As an asid, that is anothr rason why w do not bliv Moss to hav bn translatd if h is translatd, thr is apparntly no body to lav bhind. No body mans, no disputing ovr th body. 10.

It has bn supposd that th apostl quots an apocryphal book xisting in his tim, containing this account, and that h mans to admit that th account is tru.

Thr is still xtant a book in Hbrw, calld ôèéøú îùä patiyrt Moshh - th Dath of Moss, which som hav supposd to b th book rfrrd to by Orign.

And who can prov that it is not? What vidnc is thr that it is not? How is it possibl to dmonstrat that it is not? Thr ar many allusions in th Bibl to angls; thr is xprss mntion of such an angl as Michal Dan. 12:1; thr is frqunt mntion of th dvil; and thr ar numrous affirmations that both bad and good angls ar mployd in important transactions on th arth. Who can prov that such spirits nvr mt, nvr com in conflict, nvr ncountr ach othr in xcuting thir purposs? Good mn mt bad mn, and why is it any mor absurd to suppos that good angls may ncountr bad ons? It should b rmmbrd, furthr, that thr is no nd of supposing that th subjct of th disput was about burying th body of Moss; or that Michal sought to bury it, and th dvil ndavord to prvnt it th on in ordr that it might not b 69 worshippd by th Isralits, and th othr that it might b. This indd bcam incorporatd into th tradition in th apocryphal books which wr aftrward writtn; but Jud says not on word of this, and is in no way rsponsibl for it. All that h says is, that thr was a contntion or disput (äéáêñéíïìåíïò äéåëåìãåôï diakrinomnos dilgto rspcting his body.

Th sum of th mattr, thn, it sms to m is, that Jud has, as Paul did on anothr occasion, adoptd a tradition which was prvalnt in his tim; that thr is nothing ncssarily absurd or impossibl in th fact affirmd by th tradition, and that 70 no on can possibly dmonstrat that it is not tru Albrt Barns, Barns Nots on th Old Tstamnt; from -Sword, Jud 9.

By th words, bcaus I hav falln, w must undrstand th dath of Moss; by th words, I shall ris again, th govrnmnt 71 of Joshua, tc. Th contntion mntiond by Jud is not about th sacrific of Isaac, nor th soul of Moss, but about th Body of Moss; but why or whrfor w know not. Som think th dvil wishd to show th Isralits whr Moss was burid, knowing that thy would 72 thn ador his body; and that Michal was snt to rsist this discovry. It is important to obsrv that in Scriptur, th word archangl occurs only in th singular. Michal (maning, who is [as] god ) is th archangl. Gabril is nvr givn that titl. Som hav sought to idntify Michal with th Son of God Himslf, but as thr is no hint of such an idntity, it is unwis to thoriz. Michal appars in th book of Danil as th grat princ who stands for th childrn of your [th propht s] popl -that is, of Isral (Dan 12:1). In Rv 12:7 h appars as th ladr of th anglic hosts driving Satan from th havns whn his days of accusing th brthrn ar ndd. Hr h is sn contnding for th body of Moss; and in 1Thss. 4:16 h sms to b a distinct bing, whos voic (as Isral s princ) will b hard in connction with th raptur of th church. It is noticabl that in Dan 10:13 h is calld, Michal, on of th chif princs, a titl that would b compltly inconsistnt with our Lord Jsus Christ, th only-bgottn Son of God. 73 Michal is Hbrw for 'H who is lik God'. Michal is on of th top Gnrals of th Anglic forcs and most likly th guardian angl of Isral. God put rstrictions on Michal to us Bibl doctrin against th dvil only at this tim.

Ex. 2:1 14 Acts 7:20 28 Hb. 11:24 26 Ex. 2:15 25 Acts 7:29 Hb. 11:27 Ex. 3:1 Dut. 34:8 Acts 7:30 44 Hb. 11:28 29 Acts 7:22 28 And Moss was instructd in all th wisdom of th Egyptians, and h was mighty in his words and dds. "Whn h was forty yars old, it cam into his hart to visit his brothrs, th childrn of Isral. And sing on of thm bing wrongd, h dfndd th opprssd man and avngd him by striking down th Egyptian. H supposd that his brothrs would undrstand that God was giving thm salvation by his hand, but thy did not undrstand. And on th following day h appard to thm as thy wr quarrling and trid to rconcil thm, saying, 'Mn, you ar brothrs. Why do you wrong ach othr?' But th man who was wronging his nighbor thrust him asid, saying, 'Who mad you a rulr and a judg ovr us? Do you want to kill m as you killd th Egyptian ystrday?' (ESV) Acts 7:29 At this rtort Moss fld and bcam an xil in th land of Midian, whr h bcam th fathr of two sons. Moss got marrid in Midian but appard to hav a bttr rlationship with his fathr-in-law than h did with th daughtr h marrid. Now Moss was ighty yars old, and Aaron ighty-thr yars old, whn thy spok to Pharaoh. (Ex. 7:7; compar Acts 7:30) Aftr 40 yars of prparation, Moss ld th popl through th dsrt-wildrnss, giving thm th Law of God, and thn lading thm to th Land of Promis to tak it. Th first tim, th popl would not tak th land, but thy would back off, incurring God s wrath. Howvr, hr w ar again, rady to go into th land, 38 yars latr, and this tim, this nxt gnration will go into th land and tak it. Moss ag at th nd of his lif is givn in svral passags (Dut. 31:2 34:7 Acts 7:23, 30 and 36 compard). Intrstingly nough, it is in Acts 7 whr Moss ag is givn whn h killd th Egyptian taskmastr and thn fld into th dsrt-wildrnss (it is not in th Exodus txt). Thrfor, w do not know how Saint Stphn cam upon th ag. Chaptr Outlin Charts, Graphics and Short Doctrins Sinc Moss has just did, clarly by th will of God, lt s apply this to our own livs. C.

Dath rcivs its pculiar commission from God. It cannot strik but by His ordr or prmission. Lif and dath ar in His hand. 3. Th tim is fixd by His will.

With this word bing so similar to th word for moistur, and with th drying affct of th sun and th dsrt ovr a priod of 120 yars old, Moss was still rmarkably youthful looking. Rcall, that this was th obsrvation of Joshua, who saw him day in and day out. Furthrmor, dspit th fact of his ag, Moss did not suffr from cataracts, as did Isaac (Gn. 27:1) and Jacob (Gn. 48:10). On of th many blssings which Moss rcivd of God was xcllnt halth throughout his ntir lif. Joshua njoyd th sam bnfits (Joshua 14:10 11). Part of this is probably God s grac; but part of it might just b Moss mntal attitud. W hav all obsrvd prsidnts who hav rmaind in offic for 8 yars, and thy all sm to ag mor than 8 yars.

On top of this, vry prsidnt has to work with Congrss, which is oftn mad up of a majority opposing party and w s th rsults in th fac and th hair. But Moss h did not ag in an unattractiv way. God gratly blssd him. Gill: [This tlls us] nithr th rigour of his mind nor th strngth of his body; his intllctuals wr not dcayd, his mmory and judgmnt; nor was his body fbl, and his countnanc agd; his "moistur" was not "fld" (m), as it may b rndrd, his radical moistur; h did not look withrd and 78 wrinkld, but plump and slk, as if h was a young man in th prim of his days. 78 Dr. John Gill, John Gill s Exposition of th Entir Bibl; from -Sword, Dut. 34:7.

80 Dutronomy Chaptr Hrin, w hav a paralll to Jsus Christ, which I hav not sn mntiond bfor. Moss did not di bcaus h was old or his body worn out, but bcaus h had finishd his work. This was as far as h could srv God in a mortal body. Our Lord, on th cross, dspit th crul, physical tortur to which H was subjctd, also did bcaus th work in His arthly body had bn finishd. Thy both did as a mattr of thir own volition coinciding with th volition of God th Fathr. This is not suicid, but God s prfct timing. Th last fw days of Moss lif wr th most phnomnal of his ntir ministry, as w hav sn with our Lord. Th book of Dutronomy, a product of th last fw days (or wks) of th ministry of Moss, is oftn calld th scond Law and th last fw hours of our Lord s lif is th basis of our scond chanc. Furthrmor, Moss dis as a typ of Christ, and aftr h dis, his popl will cross ovr into th Land of Promis. H mad intrcssion for his popl back in Ex. 32, and hr h dis bfor his popl ntr into th land. This marks Moss as a typ of Christ. Som of ths ar quotd dirctly from Arthur Pink. Thr ar ovr 60 things in th lif of Moss which ar typical of Jsus Christ. Moss as a Typ of Christ Moss Jsus Moss was a dscndant of Abraham. Exodus 1 Jsus was a dscndant of Abraham. Matthw 1:1 Moss was a divinly chosn dlivrr. Exodus 3:7-10 Moss, at birth, was bautiful in God s sight. Acts 7:20 Moss was born undr a rprssiv gntil king. Ex. 1 Th Egyptians opprssd th childrn of Isral and vntually bgan to kill th mal childrn. Ex. 1:9 22 Moss was dlivrd from dath whn a child. Exodus 2:1 10 Though, prviously, Moss was th child of anothr, h yt was mad th son of Pharaoh's daughtr: "And bcam hr son" (Ex. 2:10). Thus h had a mothr, but no fathr! Moss sistr Miriam (Hbrw = Miryam) lookd out for him. Ex. 2:4 8 Moss livd in Egypt as a child. Thr is a long priod of silnc on th lif of Moss as a child and young adult. Moss wnt from bing a princ to a paupr. Ex. 2:15 19 Jsus Christ is a divinly chosn Dlivrr. John 3:16 Acts 7:25 Th many who cam to worship Jsus whn H was born tstify to His bauty as wll. Luk 2:1 16 Similarly, Jsus was born undr a rprssiv gntil king. Matthw 2:1 cf. Luk 24: 21 Hrod bgan to hav th mal childrn of Isral killd to prvnt a king from bing born to thm. Matt. 2:1-16 Jsus was dlivrd from dath as a child. Matthw 2:13 16 Christ was th Son of Anothr, vn th Son of God. But, born into this world, H had a mothr, but no human fathr. Yt was H, as it wr, adoptd by Josph: s Matthw 1: Jsus mothr, Mary (in th Hbrw, this is Miryam) lookd out for Him. Jsus spnt som of His childhood in Egypt. Matthw 2:13. Thus was fulfilld God's ancint oracl, "And calld My Son out of Egypt" (Hosa 11:1). Thr is a long priod of silnc on th lif of Jsus as a child and young adult (with a slight xcption). Th Lord wnt from bing God to bing a man. John 1:1 3, 14

81 5405 Th Book of Dutronomy Moss as a Typ of Christ Moss His grat Rnunciation. "By faith Moss, whn h was com to yars, rfusd to b calld th son of Pharaoh's daughtr; Choosing rathr to suffr affliction with th popl of God, than to njoy th plasurs of sin for a sason; Estming th rproach of Christ gratr richs than th trasurs in Egypt" (Hb. 11:24-26). His condscnding grac. Moss had grat sympathy for Isral. H was filld with a dp compassion for his suffring kinsmn according to th flsh, and h yarnd for thir dlivranc. Bautifully dos this com out in Acts 7:23 24 "And whn h was full forty yars old, it cam into his hart to visit his brthrn of th childrn of Isral. And sing on of thm suffr wrong, h dfndd him." Though lgally th "son of Pharaoh's daughtr", Moss rgardd th Hbrw slavs as brothrs: "And it cam to pass in thos days, whn Moss was grown, that h wnt out unto his brothrs" (Ex. 2:11). Moss was rjctd by Isral, his brothrs. Exodus 2:11 14 Acts 7:26 27 Moss was rjctd by his popl and turnd to th gntils. Exodus 2:11-15 Acts 7:23-29 Moss officially rfusd: "Who mad you a rulr and a judg ovr us?" Jsus What a forshadowing was this of Him "Who, bing in th form of God, thought it not robbry to b qual with God; But mad Himslf of no rputation, and took upon Him th form of a srvant" (Phil. 2:6 7). Lik Moss, Christ too voluntarily rlinquishd richs, glory, and a kingly palac. So too Christ was filld with pity toward His nslavd popl, and lov brought Him hr to dlivr thm. So it is with Christ: "H is not ashamd to call thm brothrs" (Hb. 2:11). Jsus was also rjctd by His popl. John 1:11 19:5 15 Jsus was rjctd by His popl and turnd to th gntils. Acts 18:5-6 cf. Acts 28:17-28 So it was with Christ. Isral said, "W will not hav this Man to rign ovr us" (Luk 19:14). Moss initially lft Egypt. Exodus 2:15 Jsus was calld out of Egypt. Matthw 2:15, Although at first rjctd by his popl, Moss would rturn to his popl and dlivr thm. Exodus 4:29-31 Moss was calld by God. Exodus 3:1 6 Moss was a rluctant srvant of God. Ex. 3:11 4:10, 13 Moss was calld to mancipat his popl from th hous of bondag. Ex. 3:10 Early in his lif, Moss wnt into th wildrnss. Exodus 2:15 Although first rjctd by His popl, Jsus will rturn to His popl and dlivr thm. Romans 11:24-26 cf. Acts 15:14-17 Jsus was calld by God. Matthw 3:14 17 Luk 4:16 21 Jsus Christ, although acting clarly in God s plan, askd for that cup to b withdrawn from Him. Luk 22:42 Jsus was calld to fr us from our sin. Luk 19:10 Gal. 1:4 H rscud us from th slav markt of sin. John 8:34 35 Gal. 3:31 Jsus, arly in His ministry, wnt into th wildrnss. Matthw 4:1 Moss was a shphrd. Ex. 3:1 Jsus was a shphrd of mn. John 10:16

82 Dutronomy Chaptr Moss as a Typ of Christ Moss Moss was tmptd to bcom rulr of th known world. Exodus 2:11 Acts 7:20 25 Josphus spaks about his ability to hav bcom Pharaoh. Moss could rturn to his popl, bcaus...thos who sought your lif ar dad. (Ex. 4:19) Moss was, at first, not accptd by his brothrs (Ex. 2); but upon his rturn, h was accptd and followd (Ex. 4:29 31). Moss had a litral rod, which was usd to rprsnt his powr. Exodus 9:23 10:13 14:16 Jsus Jsus was tmptd by Satan to bcom rulr ovr th world. Matthw 4:8 10 Jsus could b rturnd to His popl,...bcaus thos who sought to kill young child ar dad. (Matt. 2:19) st Jsus in His 1 advnt was rjctd of mn; but H will b accptd by His popl upon His rturn in His nd 2 advnt. Jsus has a mtaphorical rod to rprsnt His powr. Psalm 2:9 Moss calld by God, th "I am." Exodus 3:14 Jsus is th I am. John 5:43, 10:25, 30, 8:24, 58 6:29 Moss fastd for forty days. Exodus34:28 Jsus fastd for 40 days. Matthw 4:2 Moss ability to do signs and wondrs gav him God s authority. Ex. 3: :1 6 Moss first two signs indicatd that h had th powr ovr th srpnt and powr ovr lprosy (which rprsnts th powr of sin ovr us). Ex. 4:6 9 Moss did signs bfor th popl and Aaron spok th words of God and th popl blivd. Ex. 4:28 31 Unlss th Pharaoh changd his mind about th popl of God, h and his popl would b placd undr judgmnt aftr judgmnt. Ex. 8 (as an xampl) Moss vntually dlivrd his popl from th slavry that thy wr in. Acts 7:35 Th popl wr baptizd into Moss (idntifid with Moss), and so thy wr not dstroyd. 1Cor. 10:1 2 Jsus signs and wondrs gav Him th authority from God. Matt. 11:4 5 Jsus also had powr ovr th srpnt and powr ovr lprosy. Matt. 4: :3 Jsus did signs bfor th popl and spok to thm th words of God, and many blivd. John 2:23 4:41 7:31 8:30 Unlss you chang you mind, you will also prish. (Luk 13:3) At salvation, w ar st fr from sin. Rom. 6:6 9 Similarly, w ar baptizd into Christ. Rom. 6:3 Moss snds forth th 12. Num. 13:1 17 Jsus snds forth th 12. Matt. 10:5 Luk 9:2 Moss appointd th 70. Num. 11:24 Jsus appointd th 70. Luk 10:1 Moss was mighty in word and dd. Acts 7:22 And whn Jsus had finishd ths parabls, h wnt away from thr, and coming to his homtown h taught thm in thir synagogu, so that thy wr astonishd, and said, "Whr did this man gt this wisdom and ths mighty works? (Matt. 13:53 54) Moss was chosn. Psalm 105:26 106:23 Jsus is chosn. Isa. 42:1 Matt. 12:18 God mad a covnant with Isral through Moss. Ex. 34:27 Dut. 4:13 31:9 God mad a bttr covnant through th Lord Jsus Christ. Hb. 7:22 8:6 12:24

83 5407 Th Book of Dutronomy Moss as a Typ of Christ Moss Moss stood btwn God and th popl, and kpt thm from all bing dstroyd. In this way, h actd as a mdiator (or intrcssor) btwn God and man. Ex. 32 Num. 27:5 Dut. 5:5 Moss was faithful ovr God s hous: Now Moss was faithful in all God's hous as a srvant, to tstify to th things that wr to b spokn latr,... (Hb 3:5; ESV) Thr is a uniqunss of Moss offic as propht. Coffman writs: Thr was nvr but On, in all human history who was indd a propht lik unto Moss in svral mighty particulars, a numbr of which ar citd hr: (1) in th mighty signs and wondrs; (2) in his bing th mdiator of a Covnant; (3) who knw dirctly from God what was indd th divin will; and (4) who actually ld th popl out of 79 bondag. Moss had intimat knowldg of God. Ex. 33:11 Moss wrot th law and did all that God commandd. Exodus 34:27 40:16 Moss was a savior. Zchariah 14:1 9 Moss was a rulr and a savior. Acts 7:35 Moss as judg. Ex. 18:13 Moss was a propht. Dut. 18:18 Acts 3:22-23 Prophcis of Moss: Dutronomy Jsus Jsus is th Mdiator btwn God and man, prvnting God from dstroying us all. 1Tim. 2:5 6 Hb. 7:25 9:15...but Christ is faithful ovr God's hous as a son. And w ar his hous if indd w hold fast our confidnc and our boasting in our hop. (Hb. 3:6; ESV) Th parallls should b obvious: (1) Jsus also did many signs and wondrs; (2) Jsus is th mdiator of a bttr covnant; (3) Jsus had intimat contact and knowldg of God; and (4) Jsus lads all of us out of bondag to sin. Jsus mad God th Fathr known. John 1:18 14:9 17:26 Jsus fulfilld th Law and did all th God commandd. John 1:1, 14, 29 4: :10 Matt. 1:23 5:17 Hbrws 4:14 Jsus is also Savior of Isral.

Exodus 8:22, 9:26 Moss was associatd with th rock providing abundant, living watrs for all Isral. Ex. 17:1 6 Moss did in prfct halth. Dut. 34:7 It was ncssary for Moss to di in ordr for th popl to ntr into th Land of Promis. Th popl would not b takn any furthr by him. Moss did on bhalf of th popl.

85 5409 Th Book of Dutronomy Moss as a Typ of Christ Moss Th dath of Moss was ncssary in ordr for th popl to mov into th Land of Promis. Joshua 1:2 John 12:24 Furthrmor, th popl of Isral could not mov forward as God said that Moss could not go into th land. Thrfor, h had to di in ordr for th popl to go into th land. "So Moss th Srvant of Jhovah did thr in th land of Moab..." (Dutronomy 34:5). Hr is anothr of th striking similaritis btwn th Typ and th Antityp, Moss, and Christ. "Th tstator must di bfor th tstamnt is in forc" (Hbrws 9:16-17). God took Moss whn his work on arth was don. Moss rturn (Matt. 17:2) is typical of th Lord s 2 nd advnt. Jsus Our Lord s dath was ncssary in ordr for us to obtain a rlationship with God, and all that ntails. Thr ar many passags on this, but I rally lik John 11:49 52 But on of thm, Caiaphas, who was high prist that yar, said to thm, "You know nothing at all. Nor do you undrstand that it is bttr for you that on man should di for th popl, not that th whol nation should prish." H did not say this of his own accord, but bing high prist that yar h prophsid that Jsus would di for th nation, and not for th nation only, but also to gathr into on th childrn of God who ar scattrd abroad.

Moss is uniqu in Isral as a propht. No on in Isral has arisn lik Moss. W will look at this topic from a fw diffrnt angls. Whn Critics Ask: Is Moss Rally Unparallld Among th Prophts? DEUTERONOMY 34:10 Was Moss unparallld among prophts or wr othrs qual to him? PROBLEM: This txt claims that sinc thn thr has not arisn in Isral a propht lik Moss. Howvr, thr wr othrs, lik Elijah and Eli- sha, who got rvlations from God and prformd miracls lik Moss did (cf. 1 Kings 17:22 ; 2 Kings 1:10 ; 2:14 ; 4:34 ). SOLUTION: First of all, this claim is qualifid by th phras sinc thn, which rfrs to th tim ths words wr writtn, possibly by Joshua, his immdiat succssor (s commnts on Dutronomy 34:1ff ). Furthr, vn if on xtnds th tim to a much latr priod, thr is still anothr qualification that maks Moss uniqu. It adds whom th Lord knw fac to fac (v. 10 ). This has not bn tru of any mr human propht sinc Moss day. Moss was th grat lawgivr, whom God spok to dirctly and intimatly, in a mannr not rpatd sinc Moss day until th coming of Jsus, who was fac to fac with God ( John 1:1 ). DEUTERONOMY 34:10 Dos this vrs support th Muslim claim that Jsus could not b th prdictd propht (of Dut. 18:18 )? PROBLEM: This vrs claims that thr aros not a propht sinc in Isral lik unto Moss. ( KJV ) Muslims argu that this provs that th prdictd propht could not b an Isralit, but was Mohammd instad. SOLUTION: In rspons, svral things should b notd. First, th sinc mans sinc Moss dath to th tim this last chaptr was writtn, probably by Joshua (s commnts on Dut. 34:1ff ). Evn if Dutronomy was writtn much latr, as som critics bliv, it still was composd many cnturis bfor th tim of Christ and, thrfor, would not liminat Him. Scond, Jsus was th prfct fulfillmnt of this prdiction of th propht to com, not Mohammd (s commnts on Dut. 18:15 18 ). Third, this could not rfr to Mohammd, sinc th propht to com was lik Moss who did all th signs and wondrs which th Lord snt ( Dut. 34:11 ). Mohammd by his own confssion did not prform signs and wondrs lik Moss and Jsus did (s Surah 17:90 93). Finally, th propht to com was lik Moss who spok to God fac to fac ( Dut. 34:10 ). Mohammd nvr vn claimd to spak to God dirctly, but got his rvlations through angls (cf. Surah 2:97). Jsus, on th othr hand, lik Moss, was a dirct mdiator ( 1 Tim. 2:5 ; Hb. 9:15 ) who communicatd dirctly with God (cf. John 1:18 ; 12:49 ).

105 5429 Th Book of Dutronomy From Norman Gislr and Thomas How, Whn Critics Ask; Victor Books; takn from -Sword, Dut. 34:10. Chaptr Outlin Charts, Graphics and Short Doctrins Popl think that th Bibl is filld with miracls, and to som dgr, this is tru. But bar in mind, this is Moss, th uniqu propht, and th numbr of miracls don through him might b in th 20's or 30's don ovr a priod 83 of about 40 yars. God taking Isral out of Egypt and into th Land of Promis was an amazing historical vnt, and thrfor markd by such a grat numbr of miracls. Howvr, bar in mind that this avrags out to lss than 1 miracl a yar ovr a 40 yar span. And for th Bibl, this is a trmndous numbr of signs and wondrs. God is abl to prform miracls nonstop. W could s miracls vry tn sconds, if that was what God chos to do. Howvr, miracls wr nvr don for thir wow-factor or for th nd rsult of what th miracl accomplishd. God s miracls always hav a purpos, lik his crmonis, and God would allow nough tim for th maning of th miracl to sink in to thos who obsrv it. Barns: Words lik ths can only hav bn writtn som tim, but not ncssarily a long tim, aftr th dath of Moss. Thy rfr mor particularly to th wondrs prformd by th hand of Moss at th xodus and in th dsrt; and do but r-cho th dclaration of God Himslf (Num. 12:6 ff). Thy may naturally nough b attributd to on of Moss succssors, writing prhaps soon aftr th 84 sttlmnt of th popl in Canaan. Thr is, apparntly, th notion of som that Moss did as som sort of atonmnt. Coffman: Thr was nvr but On, in all human history who was indd a propht lik unto Moss in svral mighty particulars, a numbr of which ar citd hr: (1) in th mighty signs and wondrs; (2) in his bing th mdiator of a Covnant; (3) who knw dirctly from God what was indd th divin will; and (4) who 85 actually ld th popl out of bondag. In fact, it is most likly that Joshua wrot this, rcognizing that, whn Moss ld th popl out of Egypt, that was a rar tim in history indd, attndd to with a grat many miracls. Howvr, Joshua did not s anything on th horizon which was quit lik that. Concrning th authorship, Coffman writs: Dutronomy 34:10 is sizd upon by som as proof that "ags hav passd sinc Moss' dath." This is not tru. As Kil said, "This rmark concrning Moss dos not prsuppos that a long sris of prophts had alrady risn up sinc th tims of Moss." This rmark would hav bn just as appropriat six months aftr Joshua's succssion to th 86 ladrship of Isral as it would hav bn a thousand yars latr! Th rmark is trnally tru. Ptr Ptt: Thr is no tim limit ithr short or long to this statmnt. For th point is not that a propht had not arisn, (in fact Moss dsignatd th mn on whom th Spirit cam in Numbrs 11:26-29 as prophts) but that such a propht had not spokn fac to fac with Yahwh lik Moss did (compar Exodus 33:11), and had not prformd th signs and wondrs that Moss had 87 (Dutronomy 34:11). Moss was uniqu. Jsus is rvald in Moss; so, thrfor, Moss must b uniqu. 83 This is counting th miracl of th manna as on miracl. 84 Albrt Barns, Barns Nots on th Old Tstamnt; from -Sword, Dut. 34: From accssd May 25, H rfrncs C.F.

Translation:...who Y howah knw fac to fac,... ntir Law was givn by God dirctly to Moss. God spok with Moss far mor than with othr mn. Th Ex. 33:11a Thus th LORD usd to spak to Moss fac to fac, as a man spaks to his frind. And whn God chwd out Aaron and Mirian, H said, "Har my words: If thr is a propht among you, I th LORD mak Myslf known to him in a vision; I spak with him in a dram. Not so with My srvant Moss. H is faithful in all My hous. With him I spak mouth to mouth, clarly, and not in riddls, and h bholds th form of th LORD. Why thn wr you not afraid to spak against My srvant Moss?" (Num 12:6 8; ESV; capitalizd) This vrs indicats that som tim had passd btwn th tim of th dath of Moss and th writing of this passag. W do not know if Joshua insrtd just this vrs many yars latr or whthr this ntir portion was writtn a dcad or two latr. Whn Miriam and Aaron got out of lin in thir judgmnt of Moss, Y howah cam down in a pillar of cloud and stood at th doorway of th tnt and H calld Aaron and Miriam. Whn thy had both com forward, H said, Har now My words: if thr is a propht among you, I, Y howah, will mak Myslf known to him in a vision. I will spak with him in a dram. Not so with My srvant Moss; h is faithful in all My houshold. With him, I spak mouth to mouth, vn opnly, and not in dark sayings, and h bhold th form of Y howah. Why thn wr you not afraid to spak against My srvant, against Moss? (Num. 12:5 8). Thr will not b a propht with an old sin natur who will com clos to th gratnss of Moss. Howvr, Moss said, Y howah your God will rais up for you a propht lik m from among you, from your countrymn, and you will listn to him...y howah said to m..., I will rais up a propht from among thir countrymn lik you and I will put My words in his mouth and H will spak to thm all that I command Him. (Dut. 18:15, 17a, 18). Now Moss was faithful in all His hous as a srvant, for a tstimony of thos things which wr to b spokn latr (Hb. 3:5).

107 5431 Th Book of Dutronomy In this vrs and th subsqunt vrss, thr is no indication that this was writtn hundrds of yars latr aftr a long sris of prophts. Th hand of God was still manifst in th wars in which Joshua would ngag. Thr wr still som suprnatural victoris, such as at th battl of Jricho. God was still with th popl; howvr, no on during that priod of tim compard to Moss and crtainly thr rmaind with th popl conviction that thy would nvr hav anothr ladr lik Moss and that this conviction was born out by th subsqunt passag of tim.

Thn H ld out his popl lik shp and guidd thm in th wildrnss lik a flock. H ld thm in safty, so that thy wr not afraid, but th sa ovrwhlmd thir nmis. And H brought thm to His holy land, to th mountain which His right hand had won. H drov out nations bfor thm; H apportiond thm for a possssion and sttld th tribs of Isral in thir tnts. Yt thy tstd and rblld against th Most High God and did not kp his tstimonis, but turnd away and actd trachrously lik thir fathrs; thy twistd lik a dcitful bow. For thy provokd Him to angr with thir high placs; thy movd Him to jalousy with thir idols. (ESV; capitalizd) All of th grat miracls which Moss prformd wr bfor th pharaoh and his srvants (thos who wr undr him) and to all th land (which rfrs to th physical land and to th popl of that land. Unfortunatly, ths thr vrss hav bn sparatd and w los th flow of th contxt. Howvr, what distinguishd Moss from all othr prophts bfor or sinc was th contnt of this vrs. All ths signs and wondrs and dmonstrations of God s powr placd Moss had and shouldrs abov all of th subsqunt prophts. This complt th analogy btwn Moss and Jsus Christ, th Propht to com. Moss is distinguishd in th Old Tstamnt as th grat propht who has no qual; h forshadows th coming of Jsus Christ, Who has no qual. Both of thir ministris wr charactrizd by grat signs and wondrs, thos of Moss forshadowing th coming of our Lord. Thr will b miracls throughout th rmaindr of th Old Tstamnt, but nothing lik thos which accompanid Moss in his taking Isral out of Egypt and into th Land of Promis. Finally, th sings and wondrs which Moss prformd wr don by th powr of th Holy Spirit; h had no inhrnt powr which allowd him to do ths. Similarly, our Lord chos not to us His own divin powrs, but 88 did only that which th Spirit of God allowd (thus stting th pattrn for our livs in th Church Ag). So that you s how othr translators handld th final vrs of th Torah: Th Amplifid Bibl Th Emphasizd Bibl KJV NASB NIV NRSV And in all th mighty powr and all th grat and trribl dds which Moss wrought in th sight of all Isral....and by all th firm hand, and by all th grat trror which Moss wrought in th sight of all Isral.

Th first word is th wâw conjunction and th lâmd prposition, which mans to, for, in rgards to, with rspct to, with rfrnc to. Most of th translations show that this is a continuation of th prvious vrss. Th nxt coupl words ar: all of th hand th mighty. For an adjctiv (mighty) to dscrib a noun (hand), thy must agr in gndr, numbr and dfinitnss (i.., thy both hav or thy both lack th dfinit articl). In this cas, mighty is an adjctiv in th attributiv form, agring compltly with th noun. W thn hav a rpat of th conjunction, th lâmd prposition and th word all (in th construct, so it mans all of), followd by th dfinit articl, a noun, th dfinit articl and an adjctiv, both of which agr, maning that th adjctiv is in th attributiv position and acts as an adjctiv and not as anothr noun. Th noun is môwrâ (îåéøèà) [pronouncd moh-raw and it mans far, trror, drad. This is th kind of far which is not far/rspct. Although th acts of God might inspir this sort of far, it is not a saving far or a rspctful far (as th fminin form is). W find this in Gn. 9:2 Dut. 4:34 11:25 26:8 34:12 Psalm 9:20 76:11 Isa. 8:12 13 Mal. 1:6 2:5.* Strong s #4172 BDB #432.

113 5437 Th Book of Dutronomy and th pharaoh, but thy did not, for th most part, bcom positiv toward God. No man would b quit lik Moss until Jsus cam on th scn. This will fulfill Dut. 18:15 [Moss is spaking] "Th LORD your God will rais up for you a propht lik m from among you, from your brothrs--it is to him you shall listn-... (ESV) Vv rad: And sinc [that tim], no propht has arisn in Isral lik Moss, who Y howah knw fac to fac, bcaus of all th signs and wondrs which Y howah snt him to do in th land of Egypt. [Ths things wr don] to th pharaoh and to all of his srvants and to all his land. [Moss was a uniqu propht in th history of Isral] bcaus of [his xrcis of God s] grat powr and bcaus of all th grat trrors which Moss did in th 90 sight of all Isral. Moss is th uniqu propht of Isral. H is uniqu insofar as having don so many grat miracls utilizing th powr of God. Jamison, Fausst and Brown: In whatvr light w viw this xtraordinary man, th ulogy pronouncd in ths inspird words will appar just. No Hbrw propht or rulr qualld him in 91 charactr or official dignity, or in knowldg of God's will and opportunitis of announcing it. Kil and Dlitzsch: Moss was th foundr and mdiator of th old covnant. As long as this covnant was to last, no propht could aris in Isral lik unto Moss. Thr is but On who is worthy of gratr honour than Moss, namly, th Apostl and High Prist of our profssion, who is placd as th Son ovr all th hous of God, in which Moss was found faithful as a srvant (compar Hb. 3:2 6 with Num. 12:7), Jsus Christ, th foundr and mdiator of th nw and vrlasting covnant. 92 Joshua, as th writr of this portion of Scriptur, continud to show grat dfrnc toward Moss and tru prsonal humility. Th rlationship btwn Moss and God was uniqu; th powr givn Moss was gratr than would vr b givn to anothr propht; Moss physical strngth and mntal capabilitis wr phnomnal for a man of any ag. Nowhr dos Joshua rval any prsonal jalousy; h dos not run down Moss; h dos not gt involvd in any inordinat comptition. Joshua was a tru man of grac. Muslims hav takn this passag and hav usd it to claim that Jsus could not b th propht prdictd in Dut. 18:18 and that any propht quivalnt to Moss would hav to com from without Isral. As w hav notd, Joshua was th human author of this portion of Scriptur and this statmnt stood during his liftim and rmaind tru for all prophts until th compltion of th Old Tstamnt canon. Howvr, God did rais up a propht lik unto Moss, Who did spak with God fac to fac, Who did prformd trmndous miracls, mor than could b containd in a book, upon Whom our salvation is basd. By his own admission, Mohammd (whom th Muslims bliv is th fulfillmnt of Dut. 18:18) did not prform signs and miracls (Surah 17:90 93) nor did hr spak with God fac to fac, but rcivd his rvlations from angls (.g., Surah 2:97), whom w rcogniz as falln angls, Satan s dmon army. Thrfor, in Mohammd, w do not find a propht lik unto Moss (w hav alrady xamind Mohammd and Islam in Dut. 18:18). Now Moss was faithful in all His hous as a srvant, for a tstimony of thos things which wr to b spokn latr; but Christ was as a Son ovr His hous whos hous w ar, if w hold fast our confidnc and th boast of our hop firm until th nd (Hb. 3:5 6). Moss was in charg of God s hous (Isral) as a srvant of God. Jhovah will acts as God s Son in charg of God s hous. Lik th book of Mark, thr was a bogus nding appndd to this vrs which is found in som of th printd txts of th Hbrw Bibl. I mntion it only to satisfy your intns intllctual curiosity. B strong! Th fiv-fifths of th Law ar compltd. Prais to God, grat and farful! 90 R. B. Thim, Jr. usd to say that Moss had both th offic and gift of propht, but I nvr rally undrstood that. Somon with th offic was unabl to spak prophtical things, xcpt for Moss? 91 Robrt Jamison, A. R. Fausst and David Brown; Commntary Critical and Explanatory on th Whol Bibl; 1871; from -sword, Dut. 34: Kil and Dlitzsch, Commntary on th Old Tstamnt; from -Sword; Dut. 34:9 12.

114 Dutronomy Chaptr Thr is on mor thing which I would lik to covr bfor w lav th book of Dutronomy. W tak for grantd Who and What God is. All th Isralits had was th Law, at this point in tim. What did thy know about God? Th points thmslvs ar probably original with R. B. Thim, Jr. Most of ths points ar takn from (som additional matrial was addd). Th mphasis hr is upon th fact that all of God s ssnc can b found in th Pntatuch (th first 5 books of th Bibl) and Job. Th vrss from Job ar includd, as that book was producd and availabl at this tim. All of th attributs of God can b found in th Pntatuch and Job; but not vry point can b justifid using just th Pntatuch and Job. Thrfor, vn though this matrial is not nw, this study shows that God s ssnc was rvald to man vry arly on. Th Essnc of God as Taught in th Pntatuch and Job Th non-moral attributs: 1. SOVEREIGNTY 1) This trm dfins th fact and natur of God's volition. 2) God both cratd and rstord th havns and th arth. Gn. 1 3) Sinc God posssss volition, H maks dcisions, plans, policis, tc. Gn.1:3, 26 4) Du to His natur, H has no rivals as H xrciss suprm powr and rul ovr vryon and vrything. Thr is nothing outsid His jurisdiction. Dut.4:39 rads Know thrfor today, and lay it to your hart, that th LORD is God in havn abov and on th arth bnath; thr is no othr. (ESV) Moss tstifis to this in Ex. 8:10 And h said, "Tomorrow." Moss said, "B it as you say, so that you may know that thr is no on lik th LORD our God. S also Ex. 9:14 9:29 15:11 Dut. 32:31 33:26 5) As th absolut authority in th univrs, H alon posssss authority as a part of His ssnc, which H may or may not xrcis, as H ss fit. Ex. 9:29 Lv. 25:55 Job 34: ) All othr authoritis, human and anglic, ar dlgatd by God. Gn. 19:12 13, 16, 29 Lv. 25:55 Num. 24:1 10 7) God's Sovrignty allows human and anglic volition to adjust or not adjust to His dcisions. Gn. 19:12 13, 16, 29 Lv. 25:55 Num. 24:1 10 8) It is God's sovrign will for all mn to mak th salvation adjustmnt and th maturity adjustmnt. Howvr, God allows for th volition of man. Gn. 6:9 17:1 48:15 Ex. 4:5, 31 19:9 9) Thr applications of divin Sovrignty includ: (1) Th dirctiv will of God: what God dsirs. Num. 22:21 35 (2) Th prmissiv will of God: what God allows or tolrats. Num. 23:31 35 (3) Th ovrruling will of God: God s intrvntion in judgmnt whn His dirctiv will has bn spurnd. Num. 24: ETERNAL LIFE 1) God has no bginning and no nd to His xistnc. Gn. 1:1 14:19 21:33 (th first tim God is spokn of as th Etrnal God). Moss wrot a psalm with a rlvant passag: Psalm 90:1 2 2) H is absolut xistnc. Ex.3:14 Job 11:7 3) God is th crator of tim, and organizs th ags of tim for His purpos. Gn. 1:1, 5, 8, Dut. 4:30 4) H prxists all cration and will continu to xist aftr th dissolution of this cration. Gn.1:1 Ex. 20:11 Job 38:4 5) God dvisd a plan whrby H could impart His lif to mankind. Gn. 1: :15, 24 9: :6 3. OMNIPOTENCE 1) This word is drivd from th Latin trm maning "all powrful". 2) God is all-powrful; abl to do all things H dsirs to do. Gn ) Thrfor, His powr and authority ar oftn closly linkd.

115 5439 Th Book of Dutronomy Th Essnc of God as Taught in th Pntatuch and Job Dut. 2:7 4: :8 Job 26: :10 4) His powr and authority ar limitlss. Gn. 14:19, 22 Dut. 8:18 32:39 Job 42:10 5) Although it is tru that God can do all th things H wants to do, H dos not will to do all th things H can do. 6) God limits th xrcis of His powr to rmain consistnt with His ssnc and plan. 7) God cannot do som things du to His natur. (1) H cannot dny Himslf. (2Tim.2:13) (2) God is absolutly faithful. Dut. 7:9 (3) H cannot li. Num. 23:19 (4) H cannot tmpt anyon to sin. (Jams 1:13) (5) H cannot b tmptd with vil. (Jams 1:13) 4. OMNIPRESENCE 1) This word is drivd from th Latin trm maning "all prsnt". 2) God is prsonally prsnt vrywhr, both within and outsid th matrial cration. Dut. 31:6 32:8 Job 34: ) This is not panthism, which says that God is th cration and dnis His prson. 4) God's ssnc pntrats and fills th univrs, without diffusion, division, multiplication, tc.. (Jr.23:23, 24) 5) God is both immannt and transcndnt. Job.1:6,7; 2:1,2 6) H is both in Havn and on th arth simultanously. (Isa.66:1) 7) This is a sourc of grat comfort to th adjustd, and vry disconcrting to th maladjustd. (Mt.28:20) 5. OMNISCIENCE 1) This trm is drivd from th Latin maning "all knowing". 2) Whil this attribut is closly associatd with Omniprsnc, God's knowldg is not rstrictd to "bing thr". Job 28:24 3) God's knowldg trnally prxistd all things. (1Ptr1:20) 4) Omniscinc knows all that was, is, or can vr b. God knows that which is actual, or probabl, or possibl. Dut. 29:29 (Mt.11:21-24) 5) Evry dtail of history is bfor God at all tims. H knows th nd as wll as th bginning. (Isa.46:10) 6) H dos not larn, forgt, rmmbr, or acquir knowldg; H knows all things prfctly. Job 21:22 7) This includs all mn, what thy think, say, or do, vn bfor thy do it. Ex. 3:19 Job 23:10 31:4 34:21 (Ps.33: :1-6) 8) Whil H posssss Omniscinc, His knowldg is not causativ. What H forknows and what H prdstins ar not th sam. Num. 16:5 Job 23:10 24:23 (Rom.8:29,30) Th moral attributs: 6. RIGHTEOUSNESS 1) God's Rightousnss (+R) is absolut. Dut. 32:4 (1Sam.2:2 Isa.6:3 Rv.3:7 4:8 6:10) 2) H is absolutly fr from sin in vry way. Ex. 9:27 (1Jn.1:5 3:5) 3) God opposs all unrightousnss. H dos not prvrt justic. Job 8:3 4) H is prfct in prson and charactr. Dut.32:4 (Ps.11:7 111:3) 5) H is rightous in His attituds and actions. Gn. 18:25 (which vrs shows that Abraham undrstood that God is rightous) Job 37:23 (2Sam.22:31 Rv.19:2,11) 6) God has no intrst in activity or popl who ar lss than rightous. Gn. 6 Dut. 32:20 (Ps.5:4-6) 7) God has prfct standards which H gav to th nation Isral. Dut. 4:8 8) That which is opposd to His Rightousnss is calld wickdnss, vil, or iniquity. Ex. 9:27 9) This attribut occupis th formost position of all of God's attributs, and is th watchdog of God's ssnc.

116 Dutronomy Chaptr Th Essnc of God as Taught in th Pntatuch and Job 10) All othr attributs must chck thir function against +R. All of ths attributs must function without gtting out of kiltr with on anothr. 11) God s rightousnss (combind with His othr attributs) sts Him apart from all ls. Ex. 15:11 12) Applications to th unblivr. (1) No on can attain to th standard of absolut Rightousnss. It was clar that all mankind had th stain of Adam s sin. Gn. 3 (Rom.3:23) (2) Man's works ar not sufficint for salvation. Gn. 4:2 5 (Isa.64:6) (3) Th only way to obtain absolut Rightousnss and b accptd bfor God is to bliv in Christ (in th Old Tstamnt, this was bliving in Y howah). Gn. 15:6 (2Cor.5:21) 13) Applications to th blivr. (1) Onc you acquir +R you cannot los it. Gn. 15:6 (1Cor.1:2) (2) Whil w ar positionally rightous in Christ, w ar xhortd to liv in a mannr consistnt with th charactr of God. Gn. 17:1 (Eph.4:22-24) (3) God is intrstd in th rightous blivr. Job 36:7 (4) Absolut, xprintial Rightousnss is not possibl in Phas 2. Two of th gratst mn in th Pntatuch, Abraham and Moss, faild to oby God in vry instanc. (s also 1Jn.1:8,10) 14) God s justic and rightousnss ar oftn rfrrd to by th trm "holinss". Rightousnss is th principl of God s holinss and justic is th xcution or application of God s holinss. 7. JUSTICE a. This attribut is that aspct of God's charactr that dmands that H dal with all craturs basd on +R. b. Justic is not arbitrary, but is basd strictly on th prfct standard of Rightousnss that God posssss. c. God's Justic cannot b unfair or discriminating. Gn.18:25 (2Chron.19:7 Ps.19:9 89:14) d. Du to prfct Justic, God is no rspctr of prsons and dos not show partiality. Dut.10:17 Job.34:19 (Eph.6:9). Justic dmands that all sins and all sinful conditions b judgd at som point in th Anglic Conflict. f. All sins wr judgd in th prson of Christ, and Justic was satisfid. This is known as propitiation, or th satisfaction of Justic. Most of th animal sacrifics found in Exodus and Lviticus dmonstrat propitiation. (Rom.3:25 1Jn.2:2 4:10) g. Justic acts in two ways. i. Rmunration. Dut.7:9,12,13 (Mt.25:21 1Pt.1:7-9) ii. Rtribution. Gn.2:17 Ex.34:7 (Ezk.18:4 2Thss.1:6-8) 8. LOVE a. God proclaims Himslf to b abounding in stadfast lov. Ex. 34:6 Num. 14:19 b. All mn ar cratd by God; thrfor, H shows no partiality. Job 34:19 c. God s lov for man is rvald by th cration and rstoration of th world God mad for man. Gn. 1 d. God shows a stadfast lov to thos who kp His commandmnts for a thousand gnrations. Dut. 7:9. Th tstimony of God s lov for th Jws. Ex. 15:13 20:6 Dut. 7:7 8, 12, 13 10:15 f. God thrfor asks Isral to lov and srv Him. Dut. 10:12 11:1, 13 g. Thrfor, God s popl ar to rciprocat with lov toward Him. Dut. 6:4 5 h. God is faithful and dpndabl to protct and comfort us. Dutronomy 33:27 Th trnal God is your dwlling plac, and undrnath ar th vrlasting arms. And h thrust out th nmy bfor you and said, Dstroy. i. God tlls his popl to lov our nighbors as ourslvs. This command coms from God s charactr (all of God s commands com from His charactr). Lv. 19:18 j. Th popl of Isral wr also to show lov toward th tmporary and nw rsidnt forignrs in thir country. Lv. 19:34 Dut. 10:19

Intrstingly nough, th first mntion of lov in th Bibl is in Gn. 22, which is whr God rquirs Abraham to offr up his son, whom h lovs, as a sacrific to God. This rvals, in grat dtail, God s plan to offr up His Own Son for us. l. Whn th srvant of Abraham gos to find a wif for Isaac, His prayr invoks God s lov for Abraham. Gn. 24:12, 14 m.

Whn Moss had spokn thus at th nd of his lif, and had fortold what would bfall to vry on of thir tribs (36) aftrward, with th addition of a blssing to thm, th multitud fll into tars, insomuch that vn th womn, by bating thir brasts, mad manifst th dp concrn thy had whn h was about to di. Th childrn also lamntd still mor, as not abl to contain thir grif; and thrby dclard, that vn at thir ag thy wr snsibl of his virtu and mighty dds; and truly thr smd to b a strif btwixt th young and th old who should most griv for him. Th old grivd bcaus thy knw what a carful protctor thy wr to b dprivd of, and so lamntd thir futur stat; but th young grivd, not only for that, but also bcaus it so happnd that thy wr to b lft by him bfor thy had wll tastd of his virtu. Now on may mak a guss at th xcss of this sorrow and lamntation of th multitud, from what happnd to th lgislator himslf; for although h was always prsuadd that h ought not to b cast down at th approach of dath, sinc th undrgoing it was agrabl to th will of God and th law of natur, yt what th popl did so ovrbor him, that h wpt himslf. Now as h wnt thnc to th plac whr h was to vanish out of thir sight, thy all followd aftr him wping; but Moss bckond with his hand to thos that wr rmot from him, and bad thm stay bhind in quit, whil h xhortd thos that wr nar to him that thy would not rndr his dpartur so lamntabl. Whrupon thy thought thy ought to grant him that favor, to lt him dpart according as h himslf dsird; so thy rstraind thmslvs, though wping still towards on anothr. All thos who accompanid him wr th snat, and Elazar th high prist, and Joshua thir commandr. Now as soon as thy wr com to th mountain calld Abarim, (which is a vry high mountain, situat ovr against Jricho, and on that affords, to such as ar upon it, a prospct of th gratst part of th xcllnt land of Canaan,) h dismissd th snat; and as h was going to mbrac Elazar and Joshua, and was still discoursing with thm, a cloud stood ovr him on th suddn, and h disappard in a crtain vally, although h wrot in th holy books that h did, which was don out of far, lst thy should vntur to say that, bcaus of his xtraordinary virtu, h wnt to God. 49. Now Moss livd in all on hundrd and twnty yars; a third part of which tim, abating on month, h was th popl's rulr; and h did on th last month of th yar, which is calld by th Macdonians Dystrus, but by us Adar, on th first day of th month. H was on that xcdd all mn that vr wr in undrstanding, and mad th bst us of what that undrstanding suggstd to him. H had a vry gracful way of spaking and addrssing himslf to th multitud; and as to his othr qualifications, h had such a full command of his passions, as if h hardly had any such in his soul, and only knw thm by thir nams, as rathr prciving thm in othr mn than in himslf. H was also such a gnral of an army as is sldom sn, as wll as such a propht as was nvr known, and this to such a dgr, that whatsovr h pronouncd, you would think you hard th voic of God himslf. So th popl mournd for him thirty days: nor did vr any grif so dply affct th Hbrws as did this upon th dath of Moss: nor wr thos that had xprincd his conduct th only prsons that dsird him, but thos also that prusd th laws h lft bhind him had a strong dsir aftr him, and by thm gathrd th xtraordinary virtu h was mastr of.
