Deuteronomy 34

The Death of Moses

11Now Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is opposite Jericho. And the Lord 2showed him all the land, Gilead as far as Dan, 2and all Naphtali and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah as far as the 34western sea, 3and the 5Negev and the plain in the valley of Jericho, 6the city of palm trees, as far as Zoar. 4Then the Lord said to him, “This is the land which 7I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your 8descendants’; I have let you see it with your eyes, but you shall not go over there.” 5So Moses 9the servant of the Lord 10died there in the land of Moab, according to the 11word of the Lord. 6And He buried him in the valley in the land of Moab, 12opposite Beth-peor; but 13no man knows his burial place to this day. 7Although Moses was 14one hundred and twenty years old when he died, 15his eye was not dim, nor his vigor abated. 8So the sons of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days; then the days of weeping and mourning for Moses came to an end.

9Now Joshua the son of Nun was 16filled with the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands on him; and the sons of Israel listened to him and did as the Lord had commanded Moses. 10Since that time 17no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom 18the Lord knew face to face, 11for all the signs and wonders which the Lord sent him to perform in the land of Egypt against Pharaoh, all his servants, and all his land, 12and for all the mighty 19power and for all the great terror which Moses performed in the sight of all Israel.
