Deut.34:1. And Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is opposite Jericho, and the Lord showed him all the land of Gilead as far as Dan,
Deut.34:2. and all the [land] of Naphtali, and [all] the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, even unto the western sea,
Deut.34:3. and the midday country and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of Palms, as far as Zoar.
Mount Nebo (Navav) is one of the hills of the Avarim mountain range.
Gilead is a country in Eastern Transjordan.
The city of Dan, located southwest of Damascus, constituted the northern point of Palestine, as Bathsheba constituted the southern point. Hence the expressions: “from Dan to Bathsheba”, “from Bathsheba to Dan” (1 Kings 3.20; 2 Kings 3.10, 6.19, 17.11, 24.2; 1 Kings 4.25; 1 Chronicles 21.2; 2 Chronicles 30.5), to designate the entire length of Palestine.
The portion of Naphtali was located in the north, the portion of Judah was in the south of Western Transjordan.
The lot of Ephraim and Manasseh is in central Palestine.
The Western Sea is the same as the Mediterranean.
The location of Zoar is confined to the southern limits of the Dead Sea.
Deut.34:6. and he was buried in a valley in the land of Moab opposite Bethpeor, and no one knows the place of his burial even to this day.
“And buried,” that is, he found a resting place for himself. “And no one knows the place of his burial even to this day,” in which a providential purpose can be seen: the burial place of the great Moses could become especially sacred in the eyes of the Jews, subsequently becoming the subject of superstitious or even idolatrous veneration.
Deut.34:10. And Israel no longer had a prophet like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face,
Deut.34:11. according to all the signs and wonders that the Lord sent him to do in the land of Egypt over Pharaoh and over all his servants and over all his land,
Deut.34:12. and by the mighty hand and by the great miracles which Moses performed in the sight of all Israel.
