Moses Dies on Mount Nebo
1Then Moses went up from the plains of Moab to #Num. 27:12; Deut. 32:49Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is across from Jericho. And the Lord showed him all the land of Gilead as far as Dan, 2all Naphtali and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Western Sea, 3the South, and the plain of the Valley of Jericho, #2 Chr. 28:15the city of palm trees, as far as Zoar. 4Then the Lord said to him, #Gen. 12:7“This is the land of which I swore to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ #Deut. 3:27I have caused you to see it with your eyes, but you shall not cross over there.”
5#Num. 20:12; Deut. 32:50; Josh. 1:1, 2So Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the Lord. 6And He buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth Peor; but #Jude 9no one knows his grave to this day. 7#Deut. 31:2Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died. #Gen. 27:1; 48:10His eyes were not dim nor his natural vigor diminished. 8And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab #Gen. 50:3, 10thirty days. So the days of weeping and mourning for Moses ended.
9Now Joshua the son of Nun was full of the #Is. 11:2spirit of wisdom, for #Num. 27:18, 23Moses had laid his hands on him; so the children of Israel heeded him, and did as the Lord had commanded Moses.
10But since then there #Deut. 18:15, 18has not arisen in Israel a prophet like Moses, #Ex. 33:11; Num. 12:8; Deut. 5:4whom the Lord knew face to face, 11in all #Deut. 7:19the signs and wonders which the Lord sent him to do in the land of Egypt, before Pharaoh, before all his servants, and in all his land, 12and by all that mighty power and all the great terror which Moses performed in the sight of all Israel.

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.
