Morte di Mosè

34 Poi Mosè salì dalle steppe di Moab sul monte Nebo, cima del Pisga, che è di fronte a Gerico. Il Signore gli mostrò tutto il paese: Gàlaad fino a Dan, tutto Nèftali, il paese di Efraim e di Manàsse, tutto il paese di Giuda fino al Mar Mediterraneo e il Negheb, il distretto della valle di Gerico, città delle palme, fino a Zoar. Il Signore gli disse: «Questo è il paese per il quale io ho giurato ad Abramo, a Isacco e a Giacobbe: Io lo darò alla tua discendenza. Te l'ho fatto vedere con i tuoi occhi, ma tu non vi entrerai!».

Mosè, servo del Signore, morì in quel luogo, nel paese di Moab, secondo l'ordine del Signore. Fu sepolto nella valle, nel paese di Moab, di fronte a Bet-Peor; nessuno fino ad oggi ha saputo dove sia la sua tomba. Mosè aveva centoventi anni quando morì; gli occhi non gli si erano spenti e il vigore non gli era venuto meno. Gli Israeliti lo piansero nelle steppe di Moab per trenta giorni; dopo, furono compiuti i giorni di pianto per il lutto di Mosè. Giosuè, figlio di Nun, era pieno dello spirito di saggezza, perché Mosè aveva imposto le mani su di lui; gli Israeliti gli obbedirono e fecero quello che il Signore aveva comandato a Mosè.

10 Non è più sorto in Israele un profeta come Mosè - lui con il quale il Signore parlava faccia a faccia - 11 per tutti i segni e prodigi che il Signore lo aveva mandato a compiere nel paese di Egitto, contro il faraone, contro i suoi ministri e contro tutto il suo paese, 12 e per la mano potente e il terrore grande con cui Mosè aveva operato davanti agli occhi di tutto Israele.

The Death of Moses

34 Then Moses climbed Mount Nebo(A) from the plains of Moab to the top of Pisgah,(B) across from Jericho.(C) There the Lord showed(D) him the whole land—from Gilead to Dan,(E) all of Naphtali, the territory of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Mediterranean Sea,(F) the Negev(G) and the whole region from the Valley of Jericho, the City of Palms,(H) as far as Zoar.(I) Then the Lord said to him, “This is the land I promised on oath(J) to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob(K) when I said, ‘I will give it(L) to your descendants.’ I have let you see it with your eyes, but you will not cross(M) over into it.”

And Moses the servant of the Lord(N) died(O) there in Moab, as the Lord had said. He buried him[a] in Moab, in the valley opposite Beth Peor,(P) but to this day no one knows where his grave is.(Q) Moses was a hundred and twenty years old(R) when he died, yet his eyes were not weak(S) nor his strength gone.(T) The Israelites grieved for Moses in the plains of Moab(U) thirty days,(V) until the time of weeping and mourning(W) was over.

Now Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit[b] of wisdom(X) because Moses had laid his hands on him.(Y) So the Israelites listened to him and did what the Lord had commanded Moses.

10 Since then, no prophet(Z) has risen in Israel like Moses,(AA) whom the Lord knew face to face,(AB) 11 who did all those signs and wonders(AC) the Lord sent him to do in Egypt—to Pharaoh and to all his officials(AD) and to his whole land. 12 For no one has(AE) ever shown the mighty power or performed the awesome deeds(AF) that Moses did in the sight of all Israel.

Moses’ Death

34 Then Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah,(A) which faces Jericho, and the Lord showed him all the land: Gilead as far as Dan, all of Naphtali, the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Mediterranean[a] Sea, the Negev, and the region from the Valley of Jericho, the City of Palms, as far as Zoar. The Lord then said to him, “This is the land I promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’(B) I have let you see it with your own eyes, but you will not cross into it.”

So Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, as the Lord had said. He buried him[b] in the valley(C) in the land of Moab facing Beth-peor, and no one to this day knows where his grave is.(D) Moses was 120 years old when he died; his eyes were not weak, and his vitality had not left him. The Israelites wept for Moses in the plains of Moab 30 days. Then the days of weeping and mourning for Moses came to an end.

Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom because Moses had laid his hands on him. So the Israelites obeyed him and did as the Lord had commanded Moses. 10 No prophet has arisen again in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face.(E) 11 He was unparalleled for all the signs and wonders the Lord sent him to do against the land of Egypt—to Pharaoh, to all his officials, and to all his land, 12 and for all the mighty acts of power and terrifying deeds that Moses performed in the sight of all Israel.
