so, if Moses wrote the book of Deuteronomy, then how did he write the ending - the part about him dying and then also being the greatest prophet.
As I was reading about Moses needing to climb the mountain to go to where he was going to die - I was thinking what a trip that must have been for an old 120 yr man who is about to die...until I got to Deut 34:7 which said that his eyes where not weak no his strength gone.
Also, I couldn't help to think about what melody would have gone with the song of Moses...
OK, so clearly I'm a bit behind...but I'm catching up slowly but surely! My Bible suggests that Joshua likely wrote the last few verses of Deuteronomy referring to Moses legacy and his death.
How interesting that the Lord "took" Moses' life, though it seemed he still had life left in him - like you said, Jen, his eyes were not weak nor his strength gone. Is not Moses in Heaven? I'm unclear on that - he appeared at Jesus' transfiguration...
