The Death of Moses

34 Moses went up from the Plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, opposite Jericho, and the Lord showed him the whole land: the territory of Gilead as far as Dan, ² all of Naphtali, the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, the whole land of Judah as far as the Mediterranean Sea,^{[a] 3} the Negev, and the Kikkar as far as Zoar (that is, the plain in the valley around Jericho, the City of Palms).

⁴ Then the Lord said to him, “This is the land that I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, when I said I will give it to your descendants.^[b] I have let you see it with your eyes, but you will not cross over to it.”

⁵ So Moses, the servant of the Lord, died there in the land of Moab as the Lord had said. ⁶ The Lord buried him in the valley in the land of Moab opposite Beth Peor, but no one knows his burial place to this day.

⁷ Moses was one hundred twenty years old at his death. His eyes had not grown dim, and his vigor had not declined. ⁸ So the children of Israel wept for Moses in the Arabah of Moab for thirty days. Then the days of weeping and mourning for Moses came to an end.

⁹ Now Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit^[c] of wisdom because Moses had laid his hands on him, so the people of Israel listened to him and did just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

¹⁰ Never again has a prophet risen in Israel like Moses, who knew the Lord face-to-face. ¹¹ Moses performed all the signs and wonders that the Lord sent him to do in the land of Egypt against Pharaoh and against all his officials and his whole land. ¹² No other prophet ever displayed all of the mighty power and the great, awesome deeds that Moses did in the sight of all Israel.
