旧约 - 申命记(Deuteronomy)第34章

Then Moses climbed Mount Nebo from the plains of Moab to the top of Pisgah, across from Jericho. There the LORD showed him the whole land--from Gilead to Dan,
all of Naphtali, the territory of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the western sea,
the Negev and the whole region from the Valley of Jericho, the City of Palms, as far as Zoar.
Then the LORD said to him, "This is the land I promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob when I said, 'I will give it to your descendants.' I have let you see it with your eyes, but you will not cross over into it."
And Moses the servant of the LORD died there in Moab, as the LORD had said.
He buried him in Moab, in the valley opposite Beth Peor, but to this day no one knows where his grave is.
Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died, yet his eyes were not weak nor his strength gone.
The Israelites grieved for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days, until the time of weeping and mourning was over.
Now Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom because Moses had laid his hands on him. So the Israelites listened to him and did what the LORD had commanded Moses.
Since then, no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face,
who did all those miraculous signs and wonders the LORD sent him to do in Egypt--to Pharaoh and to all his officials and to his whole land.
For no one has ever shown the mighty power or performed the awesome deeds that Moses did in the sight of all Israel.
申命记第卅四章   第 34 章 

  摩西之死 

  申 34:4,10> 摩西一生事奉并面见神,结果只能看不能进……为何?这个教训…… 

  34:4,10 摩西是惟一能与神面对面谈话的人(参出 33:11 ;民 12:8 )。他被称为以色列最伟大的先知。不过就连这样一位伟大的人物,由于不顺服神,神都不准他进入应许之地(参民 20:12 )。不管我们是怎样的良善,或者为神做了多少工作,总有时不顺服祂。不顺服就要受管教,神对摩西的管教非常严厉,不过仍然称他为朋友。在你受神管教责打时,要像摩西一样地回应。不要发怒走开,觉得难堪甚至怀恨。相反地,你要以爱心、坦率、切望改善的意愿,回转归向神。 

  申 34:10-12> 摩西是神所喜爱的谦和仆人,我从他身上学到……悟出…… 

  34:10-12 神最初差摩西往埃及去见法老时,他不肯去,因为他自觉是个“拙口笨舌的人”(参出 4:10 ),但是他对以色列人所作的三次晓谕,却成为一卷申命记。神赐给他大能,使他由不善辞令的牧羊人变成民族领袖、一位词锋犀利的演说家。藉着他的勇气、谦卑、智慧,将作奴仆的以色列人,塑造为一个大民族。不过摩西倒是个不矜夸的人,他不把这些成就放在心上而沾沾自喜。直到临终的时候,神仍然是他最崇敬的。在他一生之中,他对神的敬爱、尊重与日俱增。他知道,不是由于自己伟大才带来一切成功,乃是由于他所信靠的是伟大的全能者,才有如此的光景。在以色列的王国时代,虽然有许多大有能力的先知,如以利亚、以利沙等,但是直到一千多年以后,才有一位比摩西更伟大的先知出现──祂就是我们的主耶稣基督(参 18:15 , 18 ,神所预言,一位像摩西的先知)。──《灵修版圣经注释》
