Subject: How can moses say about his burrial? |
Bible Note: ischus, While I realise that the Mosaic authorship of Deuteronomy has been attacked by critics, there is solid evidence, both Externally and Internally that he alone is the author. Externally,The OT attributes Deuteronomy and the rest of the Pentateuch to Moses (Josh. 1:7, Judg. 3:4, 1 Kin. 2:3, 2 Kin. 14:6, Ezra 3:2, Neh. 1:7, Ps. 103:7, Dan. 9:11. Mal. 4:4). Internally, Deuteronomy includes about 40 claims that Moses wrote it. Read Deut. 31:24-26. And, Deuteronomy fits the time of Moses, not Josiah. It is generally agreed that Moses obituary in Chap. 34 was probably written by Joshua. The last 3 verses of the Pentateuch (34:10-12) can be properly viewed as an appropriate epitaph for this great man. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
