Deuteronomy 34

Moses Dies

1 Then Moses climbed Mount Nebo from the plains of Moab to the top of Mount Pisgah, across from Jericho. From there the Lord showed him all the land from Gilead to Dan,2 all of Naphtali and the lands of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Mediterranean Sea,3 as well as the southern desert and the whole Valley of Jericho up to Zoar. (Jericho is called the city of palm trees.)

4 Then the Lord said to Moses, “This is the land I promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob when I said to them, ‘I will give this land to your descendants.’ I have let you look at it, Moses, but you will not cross over there.”
5 Then Moses, the servant of the Lord, died there in Moab, as the Lord had said.6 He buried Moses in Moab in the valley opposite Beth Peor, but even today no one knows where his grave is.7 Moses was one hundred twenty years old when he died. His eyes were not weak, and he was still strong.

8 The Israelites cried for Moses for thirty days, staying in the plains of Moab until the time of sadness was over.

9 Joshua son of Nun was then filled with wisdom, because Moses had put his hands on him. So the Israelites listened to Joshua, and they did what the Lord had commanded Moses.
10 There has never been another prophet in Israel like Moses. The Lord knew Moses face to face11 and sent him to do signs and miracles in Egypt—to the king, to all his officers, and to the whole land of Egypt.12 Moses had great power, and he did great and wonderful things for all the Israelites to see.

Deuteronomy 34

The Death of Moses

1 Then Moses ascended from the deserts of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the summit of Pisgah, which is opposite Jericho.ss The Lord showed him the whole land – Gilead to Dan,2 and all of Naphtali, the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the distantt sea,3 the Negev, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of the date palm trees, as far as Zoar.

4 Then the Lord said to him, “This is the land I promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob when I said, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’t I have let you see it,t but you will not cross over there.”
5 So Moses, the servant of the Lord, died there in the land of Moab as the Lord had said.6 Hes buried him in the land of Moab near Beth Peor, but no one knows his exact burial place to this very day.7 Moses was 120 years old when he died, but his eye was not dullt nor had his vitalityt departed.

8 The Israelites mourned for Moses in the deserts of Moab for thirty days; then the days of mourning for Moses ended.

The Epitaph of Moses

9 Now Joshua son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had placed his hands on him;s and the Israelites listened to him and did just what the Lord had commanded Moses.10 No prophet ever again arose in Israel like Moses, who knew the Lord face to face.s11 He didt all the signs and wonders the Lord had sent him to do in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh, all his servants, and the whole land,

12 and he displayed great powert and awesome might in view of all Israel.t
