Deuternomium 34:2 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 34:2

And all Naphtali
Which lay in the northern part of the land, and where was Galilee of the Gentiles, and so he had a sight of all that country most frequented by the Messiah when come, see ( Matthew 4:13-15 ) ;

and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh:
which lay in the midland part of the country:

and all the land of Judah;
which lay to the south:

unto the utmost sea;
the Mediterranean sea, which was the western boundary of the land, called the "hinder sea", ( Zechariah 14:8 ) ; and might as well be so rendered here, for the same word is used: Jarchi would have it read, not the "hinder sea", but the "latter day": for, he says, the Lord showed to Moses all that should happen to Israel until the resurrection of the dead; and so the Targum of Jonathan paraphrases the above passages, and observes that the Lord showed Moses the mighty deeds of Jephthah of Gilead, and the victories of Samson, who was of the tribe of Dan; the idolatries of that tribe, and Samson the saviour that should spring from them; Deborah and Barak, and the princes of the house of Naphtali; Joshua the son of Nun, of the tribe of Ephraim, that should fight with and slay the kings of Canaan; and Gideon the son of Joash, of the tribe of Manasseh, that should fight with Midian and Amalek, and all the kings of Israel, and the kingdom of the house of Judah; the king of the south, that should join the king of the north to destroy the inhabitants of the earth; and even the destruction of Armiilus or antichrist, and the war of Gog and Magog, and the great affliction Michael shall save from.

Deuternomium 34:2 In-Context

1 Und Mose stieg von den Ebenen Moabs auf den Berg Nebo, den Gipfel des Pisga, der Jericho gegenüber ist. Und Jehova ließ ihn das ganze Land sehen:
2 Das Gilead bis Dan, und das ganze Naphtali und das Land Ephraim und Manasse, und das ganze Land Juda bis zum hinteren Meere;
3 und den Süden und den Jordankreis, die Niederung von Jericho, der Palmenstadt, bis Zoar.
4 Und Jehova sprach zu ihm: Das ist das Land, welches ich Abraham, Isaak und Jakob zugeschworen habe, indem ich sprach: Deinem Samen will ich es geben. Ich habe es dich mit deinen Augen sehen lassen, aber du sollst nicht hinübergehen.
5 Und Mose, der Knecht Jehovas, starb daselbst im Lande Moab, nach dem Worte Jehovas.
