Contextual Overview

5 So Moses, the servant of Yahweh, died there, in the land of Moab, at the bidding of Yahweh; 6 and he buried him, in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Beth-peor, - but no man hath known his burying-place, until this day. 7 Now, Moses, was a hundred and twenty years old, when he died, - his eye had not dimmed, nor had his freshness fled. 8 And the sons of Israel bewailed Moses in the waste plains of Moab thirty day, - then were completed the wailing-days of the mourning for Moses.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Moses [was] an hundred and twenty years old when he died,.... Which age of his may be divided into three equal periods, forty years in Pharaoh's court, forty years in Midian, and forty in the care and government of Israel, in Egypt and in the wilderness; so long he lived, though the common age of man in his time was but threescore years and ten, Psalms 90:10; and what is most extraordinary is,

his eyes were not dim; as Isaac's were, and men at such an age, and under, generally be:

nor his natural force abated; neither the rigour of his mind nor the strength of his body; his intellectuals were not decayed, his memory and judgment; nor was his body feeble, and his countenance aged; his "moisture" was not "fled" m, as it may be rendered, his radical moisture; he did not look withered and wrinkled, but plump and sleek, as if he was a young man in the prime of his days: this may denote the continued use of the ceremonial law then to direct to Christ, and the force of the moral law as in the hands of Christ, requiring obedience and conformity to it, as a rule of walk and conversation, 1 Corinthians 9:21.

m So Ainsworth.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Deuteronomy 34:7. His eye was not dim — Even at the advanced age of a hundred and twenty; nor his natural force abated - he was a young man even in old age, notwithstanding the unparalleled hardships he had gone through. See the account of his life at the end of this chapter (Deuteronomy 34:10).
