Deut 34:7

Moses, a towering figure in biblical history, uniquely lived in clarity for all one-hundred and twenty years. Deuteronomy 34:7 tells us that despite years adding up in age, his sight had not dimmed, nor was his strength weakened. Isn’t that fascinating? It sparks a deeper understanding of the miracles attributed to him not only in leadership but in endurance too.

His life can be divided into three fascinating phases, adding to the richness of who he was. He spent about forty years in Egypt as royalty before wandering in Midian for another forty years. Finally, he engaged in his famously pivotal role as the liberator of the Israelites and leader during their forty wandering years in the desert. Coincidentally, this tri-phased pattern touches on the heights and depths of human experience; that it's not just the length of life but the weight of lived experiences that shape greatness.

Trivia lovers may appreciate the idea that Moses is thought to have penned the first five books of the Bible, known as the Torah or Pentateuch, yet Judaism highlights his mortality. Unlike other biblical figures, he had no designated burial site. Instead, God buried him, tucked away in an undisclosed valley, signifying a bond that evaded full human understanding. His story reminds us of the vast continuum of human experience and our continued search for spiritual and existential meaning throughout life.
