Context of Deuteronomy 34:5

3the Negev, and the Jordan Plain—the valley of Jericho (the City of Palms)—as far as Zoar. 4Then the Lord said to him, “This is the land I promised with an oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I said I would give it to their descendants. I have let you see it with your own eyes, but you may not go there.” As the Lord had predicted, the Lord’s servant Moses died in Moab. 6He was buried in a valley in Moab, near Beth Peor. Even today no one knows where his grave is. 7Moses was 120 years old when he died. His eyesight never became poor, and he never lost his physical strength.

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 5So Moses - died - according to the word of the Lord - יהוה פי על al pi Yehovah, at the mouth of Jehovah; i. e., by the especial command and authority of the Lord; but it is possible that what is here said refers only to the sentence of his exclusion from the promised land, when he offended at the waters of Meribah.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 5According to the word of the Lord - It denotes that Moses died, not because his vital powers were exhausted, but by the sentence of God, and as a punishment for his sin. Compare Deuteronomy 32:51.Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 5-8Verses 5-8 Moses obeyed this command of God as willingly as any other, though it seemed harder. In this he resembled our Lord Jesus Christ. But he died in honour, in peace, and in the most easy manner; the Saviour died upon the disgraceful and torturing cross. Moses died very easily; he died "at the mouth of the Lord," according to the will of God. The servants of the Lord, when they have done all their other work, must die at last, and be willing to go…Read the comment
