34:9-12
The baton was now passed on to Joshua. Moses had laid his hands on Joshua, signifying the passing on the leadership anointing. Joshua was “full of the spirit of wisdom”. Moses is highlighted as being unique as a prophet, with no one like him since. Deut 18:15-19 shows that Moses knew that eventually one “like him” but also far greater would one day arise, and that prophet was Jesus (who was, of course, more than a prophet). This part of Deuteronomy was added by someone other than Moses, it would be interesting to know the date at which this part was added. Moses met with God face to face (though he wasn’t actually allowed to see the face of God, but he met with God in ways that the rest of the people did not). He also carried out many signs and wonders.
