Deuteronomy 34

Moses Dies
1Then Moses climbed Mount Nebo from the plains of Moab to the top of Mount Pisgah, across from Jericho. From there the Lord showed him all the land from Gilead to Dan, 2all of Naphtali and the lands of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Mediterranean Sea, 3as well as the southern desert and the whole Valley of Jericho up to Zoar. (Jericho is called the city of palm trees.) 4Then the Lord said to Moses, “This is the land I promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob when I said to them, ‘I will give this land to your descendants.’ I have let you look at it, Moses, but you will not cross over there.”
5Then Moses, the servant of the Lord, died there in Moab, as the Lord had said. 6He buried Moses in Moab in the valley opposite Beth Peor, but even today no one knows where his grave is. 7Moses was one hundred twenty years old when he died. His eyes were not weak, and he was still strong. 8The Israelites cried for Moses for thirty days, staying in the plains of Moab until the time of sadness was over.
9Joshua son of Nun was then filled with wisdom, because Moses had put his hands on him. So the Israelites listened to Joshua, and they did what the Lord had commanded Moses.
10There has never been another prophet in Israel like Moses. The Lord knew Moses face to face 11and sent him to do signs and miracles in Egypt—to the king, to all his officers, and to the whole land of Egypt. 12Moses had great power, and he did great and wonderful things for all the Israelites to see.

Deuteronomy 34

The death of Moses
1Some time later, Moses left the lowlands of Moab. He went up Mount Pisgah to the peak of Mount Nebo,#34.1 Mount Pisgah…Mount Nebo: Mount Nebo was probably one peak of the ridge known as Mount Pisgah. which is across the River Jordan from Jericho. The LORD showed him all the land as far north as Gilead and the town of Dan. 2He let Moses see the territories that would soon belong to the tribes of Naphtali, Ephraim, Manasseh, and Judah, as far west as the Mediterranean Sea. 3The LORD also showed him the land in the south, from the valley near the town of Jericho, known as The City of Palm Trees, down to the town of Zoar.
4The LORD said, “Moses, this is the land I was talking about when I solemnly promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that I would give land to their descendants. I have let you see it, but you will not cross the Jordan and go in.”#Gn 12.7; Gn 26.3; Gn 28.13.
5And so, Moses the LORD's servant died there in Moab, just as the LORD had said. 6The LORD buried him in a valley near the town of Beth-Peor, but even today no one knows exactly where. 7Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died, yet his eyesight was still good, and his body was strong.
8The people of Israel stayed in the lowlands of Moab, where they mourned and grieved thirty days for Moses, as was their custom.
Joshua becomes the leader of Israel
9Before Moses died, he had placed his hands on Joshua, and the LORD had given Joshua wisdom. The Israelites paid attention to what Joshua said and obeyed the commands that the LORD had given Moses.
Moses was a great prophet
10There has never again been a prophet in Israel like Moses. The LORD spoke face to face with him#Ex 33.11. 11and sent him to perform powerful miracles in the presence of the king of Egypt and his entire nation. 12No one else has ever had the power to do such great things as Moses did for everyone to see.
