Deuteronomio 34:8 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 34:8

And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of
Moab thirty days
According both to Josephus F14 and the Samaritan Chronicle F15, they cried and wept in a very vehement manner, when he signified to them his approaching death, and took his leave of them; and when he was dead they mourned for him, in a public manner, the space of time here mentioned, the time of mourning for his brother Aaron, ( Numbers 20:29 ) ;

so the days of weeping [and] mourning for Moses were ended;
on the eighth of Nisan or March, as says the Targum of Jonathan, and on the "ninth" they prepared their vessels and their cattle for a march, and on the tenth passed over Jordan, and on the "sixteenth" the manna ceased, according to the said paraphrase.

Deuteronomio 34:8 In-Context

6 E l’Eterno lo seppellì nella valle, nel paese di Moab, dirimpetto a Beth-Peor; e nessuno fino a questo giorno ha mai saputo dove fosse la sua tomba.
7 Or Mosè avea centovent’anni quando morì; la vista non gli s’era indebolita e il vigore non gli era venuto meno.
8 E i figliuoli d’Israele lo piansero nelle pianure di Moab per trenta giorni, e si compieron così i giorni del pianto, del lutto per Mosè.
9 E Giosuè, figliuolo di Nun, fu riempito dello spirito di sapienza, perché Mosè gli aveva imposto le mani; e i figliuoli d’Israele gli ubbidirono e fecero quello che l’Eterno avea comandato a Mosè.
10 Non è mai più sorto in Israele un profeta simile a Mosè, col quale l’Eterno abbia trattato faccia a faccia.
