Deuteronomy 34:8 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Thirty days Which was the usual time of mourning for persons of high place and eminence. It is a debt owing to the surviving honour of deceased worthies, to follow them with our tears, as those who loved and valued them, are sensible of the loss of them, and humbled for the sins which have provoked God to deprive us of them.

Deuteronomy 34:8
