Commentary by Dr. Drake Travis
Lord God, what a finish, what a life, what an inspiration we see in Moses. We pray our lives are fruitful and dedicated to blessing and guiding so many while walking with You. Amen.
What of the blessings that Moses pronounced upon the tribes would you like Moses to pronounce upon you? Moses talked with God. We have the exact same privilege to talk with God too so do this, and be blessed.
[you do realize that “The Nation Stream” has an extra day and it needs to be fit in today because the year needs to end in Revelation]
33 – Moses paused and said a blessing for each of the Tribes of Israel. His blessing for Reuben: May he live – (and it is glaringly lacking anything else being said). For Judah: you will be gathered together and defended.
For Levi: You will know and teach the Word and have blessed resources. For Benjamin: You will have rest and shielding For Ephraim & Manasseh: Since you are from Joseph, there will be blessing and bounty on every front plus wholesale victory. For Zebulun & Issachar: you shall receive abundance from the sea and land [sand] For Gad: Anyone who gives to Gad will be blessed. For Dan: They shall be a lion cub from Bashan (this was not altogether complimentary as Dan led the way into idolatry and were overrun first by Assyria) For Naphtali: there is favor and blessing from the Lord that grows and grows. For Asher: he will have favored status, be endowed with plenty and luxury and have ironclad defenses surrounding you. Yes, God will provide grain and wine for Israel, the dew of heaven will fall on the land and God will protect you. You shall not fear as you remain in my blessing.
34 – Then Moses was taken from there by God, east of Jericho, high in Moab, and shown the entire Promised Land. God kept His promise to Moses and assured him that what He pledged would be Abraham’s land would certainly go to Abraham’s descendants. [This would begin in a month plus four days!] Moses life ended and the eulogy is reknown. Clear health and senses, sound, strong, saintly. And no one walked with God and talked with God as Moses did. The wonders that were performed by Moses are still amazing to study 33+ centuries later.
