Deuteronomy 34

Chapter 34

The Death of Moses

1 Then Moses went up to Mount Nebo from the plains of Moab and climbed Pisgah Peak, which is across from Jericho. And the LORD showed him the whole land, from Gilead as far as Dan;2 all the land of Naphtali; the land of Ephraim and Manasseh; all the land of Judah, extending to the Mediterranean Seat;3 the Negev; the Jordan Valley with Jericho—the city of palms—as far as Zoar.

4 Then the LORD said to Moses, “This is the land I promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob when I said, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ I have now allowed you to see it with your own eyes, but you will not enter the land.”
5 So Moses, the servant of the LORD, died there in the land of Moab, just as the LORD had said.6 The LORD buried himt in a valley near Beth-peor in Moab, but to this day no one knows the exact place.7 Moses was 120 years old when he died, yet his eyesight was clear, and he was as strong as ever.

8 The people of Israel mourned for Moses on the plains of Moab for thirty days, until the customary period of mourning was over.

9 Now Joshua son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands on him. So the people of Israel obeyed him, doing just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
10 There has never been another prophet in Israel like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face.11 The LORD sent him to perform all the miraculous signs and wonders in the land of Egypt against Pharaoh, and all his servants, and his entire land.

12 With mighty power, Moses performed terrifying acts in the sight of all Israel.

DEUTERONOMY 34

The Death of Moses

1 Sometime later, Moses left the lowlands of Moab. He went up Mount Pisgah to the peak of Mount Nebo, t which is across the Jordan River from Jericho. The [Lord] showed him all the land as far north as Gilead and the town of Dan. 2 He let Moses see the territories that would soon belong to the tribes of Naphtali, Ephraim, Manasseh, and Judah, as far west as the Mediterranean Sea.

3 The [Lord] also showed him the land in the south, from the valley near the town of Jericho, known as The City of Palm Trees, down to the town of Zoar.

4  t The [Lord] said, “Moses, this is the land I was talking about when I solemnly promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that I would give land to their descendants. I have let you see it, but you will not cross the Jordan and go in.”
5 And so, Moses the [Lord]'s servant died there in Moab, just as the [Lord] had said. 6 The [Lord] buried him in a valley near the town of Beth-Peor, but even today no one knows exactly where.

7 Moses was 120 years old when he died, yet his eyesight was still good, and his body was strong.

8 The people of Israel stayed in the lowlands of Moab, where they mourned and grieved 30 days for Moses, as was their custom.

Joshua Becomes //the Leader of Israel

9 Before Moses died, he had placed his hands on Joshua, and the [Lord] had given Joshua wisdom. The Israelites paid attention to what Joshua said and obeyed the commands that the [Lord] had given Moses.
