Commentaries on Deuteronomy 34:1
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 1And Moses went up - This chapter could not have been written by Moses. A man certainly cannot give an account of his own death and burial. We may therefore consider Moses's words as ending with the conclusion of the preceding chapter, as what follows could not possibly have been written by himself. To suppose that he anticipated these circumstances, or that they were shown to him by an especial revelation, is departing far from propriety and necessity…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 1Dan - This can hardly be the Dan (Dan-Laish) of Judges 18:27 ff, which was not in Gilead. It is probably a town of this name which stood in the north of Peraea; perhaps the same as Dan-jaan, 2 Samuel 24:6; and the Dan of Genesis 14:14.Read the comment

Nebo was part of Pisgah peak (see study note on 3:17). Gilead as far as Dan: This was the northernmost part of the land. The Sea of Galilee and Mount Hermon are directly north of Nebo. Gilead is east of the sea, and Dan (also called Laish; Judges 18:29) was south and west of Hermon.Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1-121. Moses went up from the plains of Moab--This chapter appears from internal evidence to have been written subsequently to the death of Moses, and it probably formed, at one time, an introduction to the Book of Joshua. unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah--literally, the head or summit of the Pisgah; that is, the height (compare Nu 23:14; De 3:17-27; 4:49).
