Deuteronomy 32-34, Psalm 91

Bible Narrative Project

The song of Moses, God telling Moses how he would soon die, the blessing (final words) of Moses (compare with Jacob’s blessings on his sons in Gen 49), and the death of Moses. Like Aaron and Jesus, he just goes and breathes his last seemingly at will (though his eye was not dim, nor his vigor abated). Like Aaron the people mourn for him thirty days. Again, Moses cannot go into the Promised Land because he struck the rock twice to get water out of it, instead of speaking to it, as God had commanded. But check out the last three verses.
