Context of Deuteronomy 34:7
5So Moses, the Lord's servant, died there in Moab. The Lord had said that this would happen. 6The Lord buried Moses in a valley in Moab, near the town of Beth-Peor. But even today, no one knows the place where God buried him. Moses was 120 years old when he died. But he could still see well. His body was still strong. 8The Israelites wept for 30 days because of Moses' death. They wept in Moab's desert land until the time for them to be sad came to an end. 9Moses had already chosen Nun's son, Joshua, to take his place as the leader of the Israelites. So the Lord had filled Joshua with wisdom. The Israelites listened to Joshua. They obeyed the commands that the Lord had given to Moses.
