De dood van Mozes
34 Toen beklom Mozes vanuit de vlakte van Moab de top van de Pisga op de berg Nebo, tegenover Jericho. De Here toonde hem het beloofde land en hij keek uit over Gilead tot aan Dan: 2 hij zag Naftali liggen en Efraïm, Manasse en daar verderop Juda, dat zich uitstrekt tot aan de Middellandse Zee. 3 Ook zag hij de Negev en het dal van de Jordaan en Jericho, de stad van de palmbomen, en Soar. 4 ‘Dat is het beloofde land,’ zei de Here tegen Mozes. ‘Ik beloofde Abraham, Isaak en Jakob dat Ik het hun nakomelingen zou geven. Nu hebt u het gezien, maar u zult het niet binnengaan.’ 5 Zo stierf Mozes, de dienaar van de Here, in het land Moab, zoals de Here had gezegd. 6 En de Here begroef hem in een dal bij Bet-Peor in Moab, maar tot nu toe weet niemand precies waar hij ligt. 7 Mozes was honderdtwintig jaar oud toen hij stierf, maar zijn ogen waren nog goed en hij was nog net zo sterk als een jonge man. 8 Het volk Israël rouwde dertig dagen om hem op de vlakte van Moab.
9 Jozua, de zoon van Nun, was vervuld met de Geest van de wijsheid, want Mozes had hem de handen opgelegd. Daarom gehoorzaamden de Israëlieten hem en leefden volgens de wetten en regels die de Here Mozes had gegeven. 10 Er is daarna in Israël nooit meer een profeet zoals Mozes geweest, want de Here sprak met hem van aangezicht tot aangezicht. 11,12 Hij deed op bevel van de Here verbazingwekkende wonderen, grote en angstaanjagende wonderen voor de farao en zijn hele hofhouding in Egypte en voor het hele volk Israël in de woestijn.
Deuteronomy 34
King James Version
34 And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. And the Lord shewed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan,
2 And all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the utmost sea,
3 And the south, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, unto Zoar.
4 And the Lord said unto him, This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither.
5 So Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the Lord.
6 And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day.
7 And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.
8 And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended.
9 And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the Lord commanded Moses.
10 And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face,
11 In all the signs and the wonders, which the Lord sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land,
12 And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Moses shewed 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, 2 all of Naphtali, the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Mediterranean[a] Sea, 3 the Negev, and the region from the Valley of Jericho, the City of Palms, as far as Zoar. 4 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.”
5 So Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, as the Lord had said. 6 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) 7 Moses was 120 years old when he died; his eyes were not weak, and his vitality had not left him. 8 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.
9 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.
