The Death of Moses

¹Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is opposite Jericho. Then the Lord showed him all the land—from Gilead to Dan,[#Nu 27:12; Dt 32:49]

²and all Naphtali and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, to the Mediterranean Sea,[#Dt 11:24]

³and the Negev and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, as far as Zoar.[#Jdg 1:16; 3:13]

⁴The Lord said to him, “This is the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ I have caused you to see it with your eyes, but you will not cross over there.”[#Ge 12:7; 28:13]

⁵So Moses, the servant of the Lord , died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the Lord .[#Dt 32:50; Jos 1:1–2]

⁶He buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth-peor, but no man knows of his burial place to this day.[#Jude 9]

⁷Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died. His eyes were not dim, nor was his vitality diminished.[#Dt 31:2; #Ge 27:1]

⁸The Israelites wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days. Then the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended.[#Ge 50:3, 10; Nu 20:29]

⁹Now Joshua, the son of Nun, was full of the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands on him. And the Israelites listened to him and did as the Lord commanded Moses.[#Isa 11:2; Da 6:3]

¹⁰Since then there has not arisen a prophet in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face,[#Ex 33:11]

¹¹in all the signs and wonders which the Lord sent him to do in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh, to all his servants, and to all his land,[#Dt 4:34; 7:19]

¹²and by all that mighty power and by all the great terror which Moses displayed in the sight of all Israel.
