Footnotes

1. Deuteronomy 34:1 The story is told with restraint, for the Bible rejects any cult of personality. No one will know where Moses is buried; his tomb, unlike that of the patriarchs, will remain unknown. A life of unparalleled intimacy with God was Moses’ personal privilege (see Ex 33:11; Num 12:7-8).
2. Deuteronomy 34:1 Nebo is 2,700 feet high, Pisgah 3,067 feet; they are 2 miles distant from each other.
