it to Moses, who they think was enabled to narrate his own death and burial by DiYine inspiration; and in this they have been followed by not a few of a former a.ge. In the Talmud, Joshua is said to be the author of this chapt.er, which he appended to the writing of Moses .after his death (' Baba Bathra,' fol. 14, 2); and this also has been extensively acoepted. The whole chapt.er, howe'\"er, oannot have been written by Joshua, for the state- ment in ver. 6, "No man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day,'' and the declaration in var. 10, that "There aroi;c not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses," e'\"idently proceed from a much later age than that of Joshua. The whole chapter may have been written and appended to the original ·writing of Moses by Ezra, who ,vas "a ready scribe in the Law of Moses, which the Lord God of Israel had given" (Ezra vii. 6), and of whom Jewish tradition attests that "the Thorah was forgotten by the Israelites until Ezra went up from Babylon and re-established it" ('Succa,' 20a). As a whole, then, with one acknowledged and one or two possible but !'light except.ions, this book may be pronounced the genuine production of the great leader and legislator of Israel.
