RF DEU 34:1 Aliazer's Concluding Narrative.
Moses then ascended the Hill of Nebo, from the fords of Moab, up to the peak of Pisgah, which is opposite Jeriko, and the EVER-LIVING showed him all the country. [from Ghilad to Dan,
RF DEU 34:2 and Naphtali, and the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah to the Western Sea;
RF DEU 34:3 and the south plain of the valley of Jeriko, the City of Palms, as far as Tzur (Tyre)]
RF DEU 34:4 For the EVER-LIVING had said to him, "This is the country that I promised to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and Jacob.—saying I will give it to your race. Look at it with your eyes, for you shall not pass over to it."
RF DEU 34:5 Moses, the servant of the EVER-LIVING, consequently died there before JEHOVAH, in the land of Moab,
RF DEU 34:6 and was buried in a valley in that country behind Beth-peor. (But no one knows his grave at this day.)
RF DEU 34:7 Moses was one hundred and twenty years old at his death. His eyes were not weak, and his strength had not gone.
RF DEU 34:8 The children of Israel, however, wept for Moses at the Fords of Moab, thirty days, until the time of mourning the loss of Moses was completed.
RF DEU 34:9 But Joshua the son of Nun was full of spirit and intelligence, for Moses had laid his hands upon him, so the children of Israel listened to him, and he acted as the EVER-LIVING had commanded to Moses.1

1 Ch. 34., v. 1. This chapter is an editor's note, undoubtedly that of Aliazer the High Priest, as a record of the death and burial of Moses.—F.F.
Vv. 2, 3. The above words in brackets are not part of the original text, but the note of an ancient editor, probably Ezra, when he edited the Books of Moses after the return from the Babylonian. Captivity, as the geographical indications are clearly from the standpoint of Jerusalem, not like the rest of the chapter, from the Plain of Moab, east of the Jordan.—F.F.
RF DEU 34:10 (There never, however, arose a prophet again in Israel like Moses, who saw the EVER-LIVING face to face,
RF DEU 34:11 with all the signs and wonders which the EVER-LIVING sent him to effect upon the land of the Mitzeraim, upon Pharoh and his Ministers, and all his country,
RF DEU 34:12 and with so strong a hand, and with such great revelations as Moses produced in the sight of all Israel.)

Envoy by Ezra or some Old Transcriber.
"The Fifth of the Fivefold Law is done;
Thank GOD the Great and Enlightening Sun."
"Courage."

1 VV. 10, 11, 12. These bracketed lines are a note of Ezra probably, or some ancient editor of his period, and do not form a part of the original text. Such notes were formerly usually bracketed in the original matter, the ancient plan of writing upon a long roll of skin or leather affording no space to put them at the foot of the page, as we now do. I have, however, in this translation, put them in their proper place for our day,—at the foot of the page. These ancient notes are a strong proof of the authenticity and great age of the Text as we still have it, as they must have been added before the use of papyrus paper had introduced the plan of folding books and records into leaves. Layard's discoveries at Nineveh prove that as late as the time of Ezra (500 years before Christ) clay tablets, written or engraved upon, and then baked, were the ordinary materials used for records and correspondence, although the Jews would seem also to have begun to write upon skins, then or shortly after, and hence the interlining of these notes. Papyrus paper seems to have been invented not much earlier than 400 before Christ, and not thousands of years as modern skeptics assert. Consequently all papyri pretending to greater antiquity are forgeries.—F.F.
