Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible

Deuteronomy 34:10-12

R V 'There hath not arisen a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses': cp. Numbers 12:6. The words point to a time considerably later than the death of Moses (cp. Deuteronomy 34:6, 'unto this day'), when his real greatness could be appreciated and his superiority to all the great prophets and leaders who succeeded him could be rightly estimated.
