Moses' Death Foretold

⁴⁸ That very day the Lord spoke to Moses, ⁴⁹ “Go up ^(A)this mountain of the Abarim, Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, opposite Jericho, and view the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the people of Israel for a possession. ⁵⁰ And die on the mountain which you go up, and be gathered to your people, as ^(B)Aaron your brother died in Mount Hor and was gathered to his people, ^51 (C)because you broke faith with me in the midst of the people of Israel at the waters of Meribah-kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin, and because you did not treat me as holy in the midst of the people of Israel. ⁵² For ^(D)you shall see the land before you, but you shall not go there, into the land that I am giving to the people of Israel.”

Moses' Final Blessing on Israel

33 This is the blessing with which Moses ^(E)the man of God blessed the people of Israel before his death.

The Death of Moses

34 Then Moses went up from the plains of Moab ^(J)to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is opposite Jericho. And the Lord showed him all the land, Gilead as far as Dan, ² all Naphtali, the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah ^(K)as far as the western sea, ^3 (L)the Negeb, and ^(M)the Plain, that is, the Valley of Jericho ^(N)the city of palm trees, as far as ^(O)Zoar. ⁴ And the Lord said to him, ^(P)“This is the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, ‘I will give it to your offspring.’ ^(Q)I have let you see it with your eyes, but ^(R)you shall not go over there.” 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 the valley in the land of Moab opposite Beth-peor; but ^(S)no one knows the place of his burial to this day. ^7 (T)Moses was 120 years old when he died. ^(U)His eye was undimmed, and his vigour unabated. ⁸ And the people of Israel ^(V)wept for Moses in the plains of Moab for thirty days. Then the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended.

⁹ And Joshua the son of Nun was full of ^(W)the spirit of wisdom, for ^(X)Moses had laid his hands on him. So ^(Y)the people of Israel obeyed him and did as the Lord had commanded Moses. ¹⁰ And there has not ^(Z)arisen a prophet since in Israel like Moses, ^(AA)whom the Lord knew face to face, ¹¹ none like him for all ^(AB)the signs and the wonders that 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 for all the mighty power and all the great deeds of terror that Moses did in the sight of all Israel.
