10 And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face,
10 Since then, no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face,
10 And there has not arisen a prophet since in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face,
10 No prophet has risen since in Israel like Moses, whom God knew face-to-face.
10 But since then there has not arisen in Israel a prophet like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face,
10 There has never been another prophet in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Deuteronomy 34:10
Commentary on Deuteronomy 34:9-12
(Read Deuteronomy 34:9-12)
Moses brought Israel to the borders of Canaan, and then died and left them. This signifies that the law made nothing perfect, Romans 8:3. Through him we enter into the spiritual rest of conscience, and eternal rest in heaven. Moses was greater than any other prophet of the Old Testament. But our Lord Jesus went beyond him, far more than the other prophets came short of him. And see a strong resemblance between the redeemer of the children of Israel and the Redeemer of mankind. Moses was sent by God, to deliver the Israelites form a cruel bondage; he led them out, and conquered their enemies. He became not only their deliverer, but their lawgiver; not only their lawgiver, but their judge; and, finally, leads them to the border of the land of promise. Our blessed Saviour came to rescue us out of the slavery of the devil, and to restore us to liberty and happiness. He came to confirm every moral precept of the first lawgiver; and to write them, not on tables of stone, but on fleshly tables of the heart. He came to be our Judge also, inasmuch as he hath appointed a day when he will judge all the secrets of men, and reward or punish accordingly. This greatness of Christ above Moses, is a reason why Christians should be obedient and faithful to the holy religion by which they profess to be Christ's followers. God, by his grace, make us all so!
