Context of Deuteronomy 34:5
3the Negev, and the plain in the Valley of Jericho, the City of Palms, as far as Zoar. 4The Lord then said to him, “This is the land I promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ 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, according to the Lord’s word. 6He buried him in the valley in the land of Moab facing Beth-peor, and no one to this day knows where his grave is. 7Moses was one hundred twenty years old when he died; his eyes were not weak, and his vitality had not left him.
