Deuteronomy 33-Joshua 1
Moses dies and almost as quickly as it takes you to read this sentence,
the Bible moves on to Joshua.
Moses wrote a poem, went hiking, climbed a mountain, died, and God
buried him and was the only One in attendance. Then Joshua whose name translates into Jesus is anointed to
lead the people into the Promised Land.
There’s enough meaning here that I need not word it up with bells and
whistles.
One verse of note, 33:2, “The Lord came from Sinai and dawned
on them from
Seir…” Don’t you love the way God
talks about Himself in beautifully romantic ways? “Indeed He loves the people…” 33:3

| Michelangelo's Moses. My personal favorite. Notice the hair of the beard, so soft you forget it's stone. It's in a small chapel in Rome. You put a coin in the box and a light comes on for one minute. Our family has added many a coin to that box. |
