"from the plains of Moav": We are hereby taught that the Holy One Blessed be He showed him the chain of kings that was destined to arise from Ruth the Moabitess — David and his seed.
"to Mount Nevo, the top of the height (pisgah)": Just as the branch (pisgah) is separate from the trunk, yet not detached (from it), so the grave of Moses was separate from the mountain, yet not detached from it, the valley intervening.
"which faces Jericho": We are hereby taught that He showed him Eretz Yisrael, settled in its tranquility, and then, belabored by its oppressors.
