申命記34:1-12

34:1 摩西從摩押平原登尼波山，上了那與耶利哥相對的毘斯迦山頂。耶和華把基列全地直到但，
34:2 拿弗他利全地，以法蓮、瑪拿西的地，猶大全地直到西海，
34:3 南地和棕樹城耶利哥的平原，直到瑣珥，都指給他看。
34:4 耶和華對他說：「這就是我向亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各起誓應許之地，說：『我必將這地賜給你的後裔。』現在我使你眼睛看見了，你卻不得過到那裡去。」
34:5 於是，耶和華的僕人摩西死在摩押地，正如耶和華所說的。
34:6 耶和華將他埋葬在摩押地、伯‧毘珥對面的谷中，只是到今日沒有人知道他的墳墓。
34:7 摩西死的時候年一百二十歲；眼目沒有昏花，精神沒有衰敗。
34:8 以色列人在摩押平原為摩西哀哭了三十日，為摩西居喪哀哭的日子就滿了。
34:9 嫩的兒子約書亞；因為摩西曾按手在他頭上，就被智慧的靈充滿，以色列人便聽從他，照著耶和華吩咐摩西的行了。
34:10 以後以色列中再沒有興起先知像摩西的。他是耶和華面對面所認識的。
34:11 耶和華打發他在埃及地向法老和他的一切臣僕，並他的全地，行各樣神蹟奇事，
34:12 又在以色列眾人眼前顯大能的手，行一切大而可畏的事。

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, ² all of Naphtali, the territory of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Mediterranean Sea, ³ the Negev and the whole region from the Valley of Jericho, the City of Palms, as far as Zoar. ⁴ 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.”

⁵ And Moses the servant of the Lord died there in Moab, as the Lord had said. ⁶ He buried him^[a] in Moab, in the valley opposite Beth Peor, but to this day no one knows where his grave is. ⁷ Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died, yet his eyes were not weak nor his strength gone. ⁸ The Israelites grieved for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days, until the time of weeping and mourning was over.

⁹ Now Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit^[b] of wisdom because Moses had laid his hands on him. So the Israelites listened to him and did what the Lord had commanded Moses.

¹⁰ Since then, no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face, ¹¹ who did all those signs and wonders the Lord sent him to do in Egypt—to Pharaoh and to all his officials and to his whole land. ¹² For no one has ever shown the mighty power or performed the awesome deeds that Moses did in the sight of all Israel.

    有些愛挑剔的人會說這絕對不是摩西寫的，甚至推到整卷申命既不是摩西寫的，更狠的還說「五經」的作者不是摩西！

    不管人怎樣說，按照教會的傳統這五卷書還是摩西為作者，而這個三十四章可以說是約書亞補記的。所以，最後來說這五卷書仍然可以稱為「摩西五經」！

    這五卷書可以說是整本聖經的基礎，也透過這五本書以色列人認清了自己是上帝子民的身分，而我們也透過這五本書認識到基督徒更是真以色列人，因為耶穌基督是上帝的兒子，我們也是上帝的王子！
