There are different interpretations of Deut 34:10-12. Recent scholarly hypothesis are occupied with the solution of the supposed tension between 18:15- 18 and 34:10-12. Some proposed Jeremiah as the prophet like Moses. Only very few proposed Joshua. In this paper I argue that Joshua in the Book of Joshua is the prophet speaking Yahweh’s word as the prophet like Moses. Then the equal greatness of Moses and of Joshua, as presented in the Book of Joshua, is studied. This leads to another discussion addressing the issue of the “face to face” relationship in a few Pentateuchal texts (Exod 33:11; Num 12:8; Deut 34:10), which supports the reading that Joshua is the prophet like Moses. That text refers to “leader(s) through the waters”.
