this extraordinary man
Deuteronomy 34:8-12 (JDV)
Deuteronomy 34:8 The Israelites wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days. Then the days of weeping and mourning for Moses finished.
Deuteronomy 34:9 Joshua son of Nun was filled with the breath of wisdom because Moses had laid his hands on him. So the Israelites obeyed him and did as Yahveh had commanded Moses.
Deuteronomy 34:10 No prophet has arisen again in Israel like Moses, whom Yahveh knew face to face.
Deuteronomy 34:11 He was unparalleled for all the signs and wonders Yahveh sent him to do against the land of Egypt – to Pharaoh, to all his officials, and to all his land,
Deuteronomy 34:12 and for all the mighty acts of power and terrifying deeds that Moses performed in the sight of all Israel.
this extraordinary man
This is the end of the fifth book of the Old Testament attributed to Moses. The majority of three of those books is all about the life of this extraordinary man, and what God did through him.
Joshua was obeyed because he focused on the commands that God had given Moses.
Moses was unparalleled because of the amazing conversations he had with God.
Moses was empowered because of the missions he was commissioned to undertake among the Egyptians and Israelites.
Lord, thank you for the life of this extraordinary man. Send us more men and women who will make a difference for you like he did.
