Even thirty days of weeping seems too little
for a man so great as Moses.
Moses did not seek you,
but you found him.
He did not ask for you,
but you showed yourself to him.
Your favor rested upon him,
and you prospered the work of his hands.
Moses passed away,
heaven and earth will pass away,
but your words will not pass away.
for a man so great as Moses.
Moses did not seek you,
but you found him.
He did not ask for you,
but you showed yourself to him.
Your favor rested upon him,
and you prospered the work of his hands.
Moses passed away,
heaven and earth will pass away,
but your words will not pass away.
