Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he said unto them, I [am] an hundred and twenty years old this day,.... Whether the meaning is, that that day precisely was his birthday, is a question; it may be the sense is only this, that he was now arrived to such an age; though Jarchi takes it in the first sense, to which are objected his words in Deuteronomy 31:14; yet it seems by
Deuteronomy 32:48 that having delivered to the children of Israel the song he was ordered this day to write, on the selfsame day he was bid to go up to Mount Nebo and die: and it is a commonly received tradition with the Jews, that Moses died on the same day of the month he was born;
Deuteronomy 32:48- :.
I can no more go out and come in; not that he could no longer go out of his tent and return without great trouble and difficulty, being so decrepit; but that he could not perform his office as their ruler and governor, or go out to battle and return as their general; and this not through any incapacity of body or mind, both being vigorous, sound, and well, as is clear from Deuteronomy 34:7; but because it was the will of God that he should live no longer to exercise such an office, power, and authority:
also the Lord hath said unto me, or "for the Lord has said" r, and so is a reason of the foregoing; the Targum is,

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
I am an hundred and twenty years old - The 40 years of the wandering had passed since Moses, then 80 years old, âspake unto Pharaohâ (Exodus 7:7; Compare Deuteronomy 34:7).
I can, no more go out and come in - Render I shall not longer be able to go out and come in: i. e., discharge my duties among you. There is no inconsistency with Deuteronomy 34:7. Moses here adverts to his own age as likely to render him in future unequal to the active discharge of his office as leader of the people: the writer of Deuteronomy 34:1-12, one of Mosesâ contemporaries, remarks of him that up to the close of life âhis eye was not dim, nor his natural force abatedâ Deuteronomy 31:7; i. e. that he was to the last, in the judgment of others, in full possession of faculties and strength.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Deuteronomy 31:2. I am a hundred and twenty years old — The life of Moses, the great prophet of God and lawgiver of the Jews, was exactly the same in length as the time Noah employed in preaching righteousness to the antediluvian world. These one hundred and twenty years were divided into three remarkable periods: forty years he lived in Egypt, in Pharaoh's court, acquiring all the learning and wisdom of the Egyptians; (see Acts 7:20; Acts 7:23); forty years he sojourned in the land of Midian in a state of preparation for his great and important mission; (Acts 7:29-30); and forty years he guided, led, and governed the Israelites under the express direction and authority of God: in all, one hundred and twenty years.
