Manuscript Overview

Summary

Deuteronomy 34 narrates the death and burial of Moses on Mount Nebo. The chapter is canonically remarkable for being narrated as if Moses witnessed his own death; rabbinic tradition discusses the question (b. Bava Batra 14b–15a). No substantial 4QDeut manuscript preserves this final chapter.
