Charles Ellicott Commentary Deuteronomy 34:10

"And there hath not arisen a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom Jehovah knew face to face," — Deuteronomy 34:10 (ASV)

And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face.—Probably these words are later than the time of Joshua, when longer experience enabled people to see how far inferior the prophets were to their great predecessor in this respect. The difference is most clearly set forth in Numbers 12:7-8. (See Notes on that passage.)
